30 Fastest Growing Companies in Asia 2019

Growth is never by chance!

 

How do most successful companies deal with their businesses? How do companies grow step by step? One of the many ways to maintaining a successful business is a steady customer base, ability to resist market uncertainties, and the right people to innovate and grow the business. A successful company typically sees reasonable amount of profit from its loyal customers. Adding the fact that the cost of attracting new customers is significantly more than that of maintaining a relationship with existing ones, and you have a powerful incentive to keep that core group of customers happy. Yet too many businesses neglect this loyal customer base in search of new customers.But on the other side, successfully tapping a whole new customer base is as important as taking care of your loyal customers, and business leaders should learn the art of balancing the both.

If your business goal is to live long and prosper, maintain your loyal customers and successfully tap new ones, then any efforts toward building reliable services, constant innovation, extensive market research, and service customization at large will certainly pay off. And how to do it you ask? Here we present you the 30 exceptional and fastest growing Asian brandswhich are helping companies to stand still in fierce competition.

4 Ways Us Expats Can Reduce Their Taxes

Are you a US citizen living and working overseas? Filing your tax returns is a duty that you are required to fulfill. But filing tax returns is not the most enjoyable thing about living or working abroad. Although filing is an obligation, most expats don’t end up paying any taxes. Here are 4 ways expats can reduce their taxes.

Claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion

The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion can save you thousands of dollars. It is the best way to save on taxes. You can suffer double taxation if you fail to claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. Imagine being forced to pay taxes to the United States for income that you have already been taxed in your host country. Fortunately, the Internal Revenue Service understands this predicament, hence the provision of the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. 

This exemption allows expats to exclude the first $105,900 of the foreign earned income from their 2019 tax returns (filed in 2020). However, to take advantage of the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, you must pass one of the two residency tests:

·         The Physical Presence Test: You must be in a foreign country for at least 330 full days in a 365-day period.

·         Bona Fide Residence Test: Here, expats must live outside the US for a full calendar year, and must not be intending to return to the US in the foreseeable future. Such expats must also show that they have established residency in a foreign country.

Take advantage of the Foreign Housing Exclusion

The cost of living outside the United States can be very high. Fortunately, the IRS understands this and has come up with some ways to offset this for US citizens living abroad. Foreign Housing Exclusion is one such way. It allows US expats to exclude their housing expenses (up to a set limit) from their taxable income. With Foreign Housing Exclusion, you can exclude the following expenses:

·         Rent

·         Parking fees

·         Household repairs

·         Utilities

·         Property insurance

Expats who wish to claim the Foreign Housing Exclusion must:

·         Qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion

·         Demonstrate they have qualifying housing expenses

·         Have paid their housing expenses from employer-provided funds

·         Have housing expenses that exceed the set minimum

Claim the Foreign Tax Credit

Claiming the Foreign Tax Credit can save you huge bucks. The Foreign Tax Credit is a dollar-for-dollar credit on every dollar you have paid as tax to your host country. Of course, you can’t claim Foreign Tax Credit on income you have already claimed Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. You can only use Foreign Tax Credit on income above the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion limit.

File on time!

Claiming exemptions is a great way for expats to save on their taxes. Filing your tax returns on time can also help you save on your taxes. You see, every tax due after the deadline begins to accrue interest from that day onward. Filing returns from abroad is not easy. It is a complex process with a lot of reporting needed and exemptions to be claimed. You should consider seeking help from incredible platforms such as https://taxfyle.com/taxes-for-expats. More often than not, this will save you time, money and stress.
