因为增税的关系,大家现在对税的概念了解得越来越多了。
但,华人朋友在税务方面仍然有一些固有思维可以做修改,众所皆知,在美华人勤劳又聪明,尤其在Silicon Valley一带很多都是华人菁英。英文精通在自己专业上皆为翘楚,但是在财务与税务规划方面,还是有一些迷思。
迷思有哪些呢?
精英们共同的特点是善于投资,且注意回报。但是一到交税的时候,就无法淡定了,因为回报好,税也跟着涨高。第一个,他们喜欢玩股票,但是常常都用税后的钱去操作,这样短期资本利得要交很高,等到加税的时候可能交得更高,而长期资本利得交的也不少,特别是住在加州的人。
第二个,喜欢投资房地产者,却没注意到税上的好处,不喜欢贷款。华人的观念就是“无债一身轻”,可是这个观念到底是好还是不好呢?
讲个小故事,有位老公看他老婆每次煎鱼的时候都要去头去尾,那他就问老婆为什么要这样做,他老婆说不知道,因为她妈妈也是这样做的。然后,他又去问她岳母,为什么要把鱼掐头去尾,岳母说不知道,因为外婆都这样做的,最后,问到外婆那里,终于知道外婆这样做的原因是,家里锅子小,鱼装不下,所以才掐头去尾,但这方法就一路影响到现在。所以,有些概念可能在不同时期、不同的地方,会有不同的做法。
今天不想贷款的原因就是怕将来有负担,或将来有不好的情形。可是在美国,如果投资房地产不贷款真的是浪费了,如果贷款的话,首先可以杠杆,你100万去买100万,房租还要付税,将来100万翻一倍变200万,你等于是拿100万去赚100万。可是,同样的钱,你拿100万去买个300万的Property,所有的贷款利息可以抵税,所有的Property tax也可以抵税,因为300万抵得多,折旧也多,房租常常有可能根本不用交税。卖的时候还可以用1031来交换,更重要的是,你拿100万去买300万,如果翻一倍就变600万,你等于是拿100万去赚300万,这样看,不仅平时税上的规划变好了,翻倍的杠杆也变多了。
总的来说,要想投资回报好,税务规划少不了。投资股票,尽量用退休账户的钱去投资,而投资房产尽量使用贷款。另外,再去投资一些,像人寿保险、年金,这些本身对税务就有好处的理财工具,减轻投资的税务负担,让净所得变更多。
