Into the book
Of course, if sales increase, profits increase accordingly and the income tax burden also increases.
However, even if sales are high, if the cost of sales or the proportion of expenses is high, profits may not be high.
Therefore, do not choose a corporation based solely on sales volume.
--- p.26
In order for a sole proprietor to convert to a corporation, the sole proprietor must reorganize the business and establish a new corporation.
The simplest way at this time is to wind down your personal business and establish a separate corporation to start your business.
However, if a personal business (converted business) has complex and intertwined assets such as inventory assets, real estate, personnel, existing business partners, and receivables and payables, it is not easy to organize them all at once.
-p.38
One of the most important aspects of the corporate conversion process is whether or not to conduct an appraisal of assets, including real estate.
As you know, there are costs associated with conducting emotional assessments.
Of course, there is also the advantage of having many tax issues resolved through emotional appraisal.
Therefore, it would be a good idea to review in advance how emotional evaluations can be received and utilized.
--- p.107
There are cases where a private business is converted into a corporation to generate a lot of profit or to ensure stable succession of the family business.
However, when converting to a corporation while there is a lot of profit, there are many cases where goodwill is omitted, which later causes problems.
This is because the tax law views this as a low-value transfer of assets and responds to it by imposing income tax on individuals and gift tax on corporate shareholders.
--- p.185
If real estate is included in a sole proprietor's business fixed assets, the sole proprietor must pay transfer tax, and the acquiring corporation must pay acquisition tax.
However, the tax law allows for transfer tax carryover and acquisition tax reduction to facilitate corporate conversion.
However, there are restrictions in place to prevent indiscriminate reductions.
However, even if sales are high, if the cost of sales or the proportion of expenses is high, profits may not be high.
Therefore, do not choose a corporation based solely on sales volume.
