Tax planning is the practice of arranging financial affairs to minimize tax liability within the law.

It involves timing income and expenses, choosing beneficial account types, and structuring transactions strategically: Good tax planning saved us thousands this year.

Distinguished from tax evasion, which is illegal, tax planning uses legitimate means to reduce what's owed.
