Abstract:

business competition, organizations are seeking effective methods and strategies for

tax evasion, but if you submit a tax payment statement using the ambiguity of the law
to pay less tax, it will also be considered tax avoidance. Tax planning is an action that
does not violate the law, which can help businesses reduce tax costs, increase financial
liquidity, and reduce legal risks. It also increases the competitiveness of the business,
opens up more investment and business expansion opportunities. Therefore, good tax
planning is an important strategy that helps strengthen the stability and sustainability
of the organization. This has made the business successful and continue to operate.
