Standard Tax Deductions
by John Smith LearnerWithholding tax is an amount
deducted from an individual's gross income to reduce taxable income. The basic standard deduction over 65 depends
on a person's tax return status. The taxpayer does not have to pay income tax
on the expenses, which is called a tax deduction. Expenses such as legal fees,
medical expenses, donations and investments are sometimes listed as tax deductible
expenses. While investment taxes are deductible, brokerage fees and commissions
are not. In addition to the basic standard deduction, additional tax credits
may be offered based on circumstances such as age and blindness.
The tax credit is intended to
encourage positive initiatives such as charitable spending, entrepreneurship,
home ownership, education and environmental protection. However, these
deductions can sometimes be used to avoid paying taxes. There are cases where
rich and large corporations manipulate the discount structure to their
advantage. They often avoid paying large amounts of tax by anticipating that
they will use their operating expenses for tax-exempt purposes. Corporations
generally enjoy a wide range of tax deductions. Since only their income is
taxed, corporations separate their expenses from their income in accounts.
Expenses that are proven to be solely for business purposes are then treated as
a tax deduction.
