Income tax time is near We are getting to the time of year when farmers start thinking about filing of income income tax and its implications on the farm business. The key in determining your taxable position is having having a good set of farm records to let you know where you stand at any time. The days of shoving all the bills and receipts in a box and not recording information in a systematic way are long gone. We'U talk about setting up a simple and effective farm bookkeeping system at a later date. Income tax regulations are becoming more involved each year and for this reason many farmers now use the services of chartered accountants, bookkeeping firms or income tax specialists. If this is the case for your farm, then you should be consulting your tax situation- now, so that appropriate action can be taken before the end of the year. Many of the tax management management techniques that can be .used by farmers must be done before the end of your 12 month fiscal year. This means that for most farmers who are on a calendar year filing basis have until December December 31, 1980 to take action on such things as buying next year's crop supplies, paying off outstariding accounts payable, payable, purchasing a piece of equipment or selling an extra load of cattle. For other things such as Registered Retirement Savings Savings Plans and the use of Livestock Inventory Provisions, Provisions, you can work on these in the New Year. Other tax adjustment measures can be taken right at the time of filing your tax return. No matter what tax man- agemènt techniques you might use, it is vital that you know your income-expense picture now, so take Some time to assess your situation and avoid disappointment later.
