Crossing the Corporate Veil: Tax Planning For Canadian Business Owners

Are you tired of the salary vs. dividends debate for Canadian incorporated business owners? 

In today’s episode, we’ll dig deeper into the land of personal and corporate tax minimization strategies to uncover some Canadian Wealth Secrets to tax-free or tax-optimized income from your corporation.

As incorporated entrepreneurs and investors, we are tirelessly working to optimize our businesses to increase income and reduce expenses - typically re-investing our profits back into our own business or seeking to grow those profits through other investment vehicles. 

However, despite this endless commitment to growing our businesses and our investments, the vast majority of serial entrepreneurs and investors leave little to no time, energy and effort to understand how they can pay less income taxes in order to fatten those margins and ultimately unlock additional capital for reinvestment in whatever opportunity you feel is best for your wealth building path. 

Big Takeaways:

• Should I buy assets in my personal name or Canadian corporation? 
• How should I structure my personal income using salary and/or dividend? What’s the right mix? 
• How to create flexibility and security when mixing asset ownership on each side of the Canadian corporate border.
• How to use your retained earnings as fuel for your Canadian corporate wealth building engine.
