  • Not only how the business is structured, but also on tax consequences. Salary is taxed in multiple ways: fed tax, state tax, social security, medicare, for you as an individual, plus workmens’ compensation, unemployment insurance, etc., for you as a business.

    Minimizing salary minimizes taxes. Let the business buy things you use in the business instead of paying you, and then your buying those same things, and you bypass taxes in two ways: the salary taxes, and the profit taxes (profit is lowered by the expenses). The company (if you are set up as a corporation) does not have to pay social security or medicare on its income, but you do, if you take it as salary.
