Follow the rules

Integrity is one of the most important things a human should possess. I'm a firm believer in the saying from the Bible "you reap what you sow". This is not only true in giving, but also in your actions.

I was talking to a guy the other day and he was tell me about how he has a rental property. When he needs work done on his own house, he gets the contractor to charge it to his rental property so the expense is tax deductible. This is dishonest and could get him into trouble one day.

It's not worth risking fines or jail time to save or make extra money. It's far too easy to make money to do things legally.

Taxes are important as they help the government create a safe and pleasant environment to live in. But it's also important to be educated or have an accountant who can help reduce your tax legally.
