Tomorrow is the first day of the secular new year of 2020.  A whole new decade.  Which means you probably have to reassess all those New Year’s Resolutions you’ve been running through in your mind.    (I make my personal resolutions in September/October, when the Jewish New Year rolls around.  And, my corporate KPI [key performance indicators] are evaluated three or four times a year to make sure we’re measuring (and achieving) the right things.)

The new tax law (OK, it’s not so new) has changed the landscape when it comes to choosing corporate structures. Sure, pass-throughs get a 20% income eraser (as long as one’s income doesn’t exceed about $165K), but the corporate tax rate is also cut to shreds. (Remember: It’s only the small companies that pay the maximum rate of 21%- the behemoths hire great consultants to avoid taxes – many completely- between special deductions and overseas shenanigans.  That’s why 350 or so of the Fortune 500 paid 11%, the rest paid close to zero last year.)
