Did you know that operating your business through a private corporation can allow you to access one of the lowest income tax rates in the world? Arguably one of the best advantages of incorporating your active Canadian business is the ability to defer taxes at a low 11% tax rate on the first $500,000 of taxable income and 27% on any excess taxable income. That is significantly less than the highest personal marginal rate of 54%.

 

Private corporations also have tax planning opportunities to split income with family members, potentially claim a tax-free capital gain on qualifying private company shares up to $892,000, and transfer wealth to the next generation through family trusts, to name a few.

 

Clearline CPA can help you make the most of these opportunities. Together, we will create a plan and strategy to minimize tax and achieve your objectives, all the while dealing with the Canada Revenue Agency so you don’t have to.
