Jay asked:

I’m about to start a business and was curious how much to keep out of the profits for taxes. Lets say i sell 50k a month in product with around 20% of profit, which is like 10k a month. Out of that 10K how much should I hold back for taxes? I do plan to use a bit of it to reinvest back in the business, probably 50% of the 10k or so. I’m just curious how you figure out how much to hold back so I don’t get a huge tax bill at the end of the year that I couldn’t afford. Also, if I only have to play taxes on the profit after business expenses, what kind of expenses can be deducted? thanks for any help you can provide, i’d consult an accountant but unfortunetely, all the money i currently have is tightly budgeted for startup costs. Thanks.
Ummm, thanks for the answer, but can you define revenue, are you talking about the total sold? Total net (sold minus cost of products)? Some number after expenses? sorry, i seem to be a moron when it comes to this stuff…..

I’d say 30% of your revenue on a quarterly basis

If you send me your exact budget to my e-mail address I might be able to figure something out - could you send it on excel - try to be as exact as you can and include indirect costs (ie wages, light and heat, rent) - I think you need to get financially organised in conjunction with your start-up - I may be able to advise when I see your budget
