Description of Book
Most of the problems, hurdles, and obstacles that dentists face can be avoided by planning. The second edition of this best-selling title has been completely rewritten and expanded to address considerations for general and specialty practices relating to practice realities of 2000 and beyond — practice transitions, operations, and personnel planning. Business, Legal, & Tax Planning for the Dental Practice, 2nd Edition, identifies opportunities, problems, and decisions which dentists and specialists must make as practice owners and provides solutions. Learn how to positively impact the bottom line by maximizing compensation in all forms, minimizing estate and income taxes, reducing exposure to the legal risks of practice ownership, attaining financial independence, and avoiding poor business decisions. This book takes into account tax law changes passed in June 2001 regarding pensions and estate tax.

While intended for the dentist and dental specialist, this book also is valuable for the doctor’s spouse and advisors.
