Tax-efficient investing Checklist
By now, you know how I feel about tax. It’s necessary to pay it, even our duty to pay it in order to contribute to society.
But part of living in a developed economy is that the government uses tax breaks to encourage investing in certain ways. It’s those tax-efficient investing techniques I want to explore today. What I go through today will be all that 98% of you ever need to do.
If you tick off these things you’ll save as much tax as it is possible to save when investing. Any other questions or comment, leave them in the show notes.
