Tax-time crunch: Tips to boost your tax savings

AS A business owner who is a sole proprietor, you are in charge of your own business. Where the tax laws are concerned, you and your business are a single entity.

While this entails certain freedom, it also creates added responsibilities. You will face additional taxes and reporting requirements, but you may also be eligible for certain business tax deductions.
