Tax Planning
Planning is the key to successfully and legally reducing your tax liability. Every financial transaction potentially affects a business’ tax obligation. Tax planning and filing can be a significant challenge considering all the different types of tax rules and regulations with over 5,000 taxing jurisdiction.
Tax planning is an essential element of the tax preparation process for all businesses regardless of size. Tax planning occurs year-round regardless of the fact that filing only occurs once or twice a year.
We go beyond tax compliance and proactively recommend tax saving strategies to maximize your after-tax income. Our clients typically pay the lowest amount of taxes allowable by law because we continually look for ways to minimize your taxes throughout the year, not just at the end of the year. At Chawla & Associates, we have the expertise to help you make the best financial decisions for your business with the goal of minimizing your tax obligation.

Sales Tax Services
State Sales and Use Tax is imposed on all retail sales, leases and rentals of most goods, as well as taxable services. Many of our clients are responsible for collecting and submitting sales and use taxes across multiple taxing entities and states. In some states like Texas, select businesses are required to report and pay sales tax on a monthly or quarterly basis. We diligently work with our clients in the compilation of information and preparation of sales tax returns in an efficient and timely manner.
