"A good accountant can save you 50% on your taxes every year, and do it perfectly legally!"

See this is where I have a problem with the tax system!

The system is set up in such a way that I have to either spend massive amounts of time studying tax law or I must PAY someone to make sure I don't over pay the government!

Does anyone else have aproblem with this? Because, it sure does not seem right to me!

Why are you surprised by this? I pay a lawyer to ensure my corporate and personal legal affairs are in order, a financial planner and stock adviser to ensure my investments are in order, my physicians to look over my body, my dentist to look after my teeth, a policeman to ensure criminals are rounded up, etc.

I could look after my tax situation, as, with enough study, I could be my own lawyer, doctor, etc.

It's simply more efficient to let a professional handle those things, so I can concentrate on the services I render to clients.
