Tax consequences

Tax consequences refer to the effects that taxes have on your financial situation after an earning, transaction, or investment. When you sell an asset, earn income, or receive a gift, you may owe taxes based on those actions. This can affect your net income and savings. Understanding tax consequences helps individuals make informed decisions about spending, investing, and planning for retirement, as different actions may lead to different tax liabilities. Being aware of your tax obligations enables you to minimize taxes owed legally and optimize your financial health.
