Is Your Private Company in Shape for New Tax Rules?


Owners of private companies in Canada may now face more restrictive tax rules. Canada recently enacted changes affecting private corporations, their owners and family members, including a new tax on split income (TOSI) where adult family members are part of income splitting arrangements, and restrictions on the small business deduction (SBD) where a private corporation in a corporate group earns passive investment income.
