Abstract

This presentation explains how the new tax legislation impacts aesthetic medical practices, and physicians and outlines the best ways to take advantage of the new law to reduce income taxes today and in the future. We will focus on (1) corporate structure for the practice and other related ancillaries; (2) how to reduce taxes at the practice and personal level; (3) benefit planning including the use of qualified and non-qualified plans.

Take Home Message

Taxes are typically the top expenses for an AACS practice beyond personnel and one of the top expenses for surgeons personally. Yet there is a tremendously wide range within physician and practices in what type of tax planning is implemented, due to the fragmented nature of tax advice. This lecture discusses best practices in the over 1,000 physicians and practices the speaker has worked with over 25 years.
