That's because there are now so many provisions and rules governing so many situations that, if you don't pay attention to the details, you'll end up paying a lot more tax than necessary - or at least not saving all you could.
This guide is designed to give you an overview of tax laws and tax-saving strategies for various situations, so you develop a basic understanding of ways to lower your tax liability. It will help you identify specific steps you may want to take, as well as areas you may want to look at more closely and discuss with an advisor.
