Corporate Taxation and Corporate Structures (In Person)

About this workshop:

A corporation is a legal entity and is therefore taxed separately from its owners. To discover whether you could benefit from incorporating your business or if you are curious about your existing structure, join us for our free learning series. This course will be of interest to those owners who are contemplating on incorporating or have an existing incorporated business. During this interactive 2-hour workshop, we will:

• go over the reasons to incorporate and points to consider
• compare the personal tax rates and corporate tax rates
• discuss the relationship of the individual to their corporation – salary vs. dividends, taxable benefits
• comment on different types of corporate structures and how each structure may be applicable to you which may include holding companies and family trusts as shareholders
• show how the corporation be used for tax planning purposes using the small business deduction and capital gain exemption
