Improving without sliding backward

It is not unusual to observe that when things are not running well, it is mostly due to people not executing the basics well. But we find it to be a particularly strong theme of late. Readers may recall our writing just a few months ago about getting back to basics. Furthermore, what we wrote about last week regarding the tourism supply chain and the immigration queues at Suvarnabhumi airport is really about the same. But it used to work better though, right?

A specific twist to what we have been personally experiencing of late is of things sliding backward. For example, we are beleaguered Toronto Maple Leafs hockey fans. At the start of the season they were playing so well, and what team management and players all talked about was how well they were executing the basics. But they have just experienced a terrible slump in performance resulting in the coach being fired. And what does the new coach talk about? Getting back to basics.

Holidays are something that we all look forward to through the year. We count away the days till we leave the office and embark on our trips, and why shouldn’t we? A holiday is a chance to rest and unwind, and a way we can relax and prepare for what is in front of us.

New tax laws for small businesses

Tax season. It’s estimated that individuals and businesses spend approximately 6.1 billion hours per year complying with IRS filing requirements — time that most small business owners would rather spend on activities that actually grow their companies.

But even though the majority of small business owners (70%) farm out the job to a professional tax preparer, it’s important for every business owner to remain engaged with the tax preparations process. In many cases, the direct involvement of the business owner results in reductions in tax liability and a direct improvement to the company’s bottom line.

According to Barbara Weltman, tax expert and author of J.K. Lasser’s Small Business Taxes 2012, there are several new or irregular tax laws that will impact business owners’ total liability during the 2012 tax season.
