Used to work for 2 brothers years ago who owned a small business, Marve 25 employees and they would would draw each month an expense check for about $5000, run ALL household repairs through the business with billing supplied by contractors well known to them showing work done on business. They each had a car paid for by the company, gasoline credit cards, etc. and at the end of the year after all the bills were paid they would each take 50% of what was left as a bonus, usually something over one million dollars each.
The company never showed a profit on paper and the brothers claimed the money they took as income and paid a lower rate than what the corporate rate was at the time.
