Running a small business is challenging, and managing taxes can be one of the most complex aspects. However, understanding and utilizing tax deductions and strategies can significantly reduce your taxable income and save you money. Here are some of the top tax deductions and maneuvers that can benefit your small business:


Top Tax Deductions


  1. Home Office Deduction: If you use a portion of your home exclusively for business purposes, you can deduct related expenses such as rent, mortgage interest, utilities, insurance, and repairs.


  2. Business Use of Vehicle: You can deduct expenses for using your vehicle for business purposes. This can be done either by using the standard mileage rate or by deducting actual expenses like gas, repairs, and insurance.
