Tax on Split Income | Tip 7
You may have been informed that the TOSI rules prevent the payment of dividends from your operating company to your holding company, and restrict dividend sprinkling with non-active family members.
Although this is true, the effects can sometimes be mitigated by the reorganization of capital, followed by an amalgamation and if necessary, a spin-off of assets to a new corporation.
Please contact SB Partners to learn more, or to discuss any of our signature TOSI Solutions.
Tax on Passive Income | Tip 7
Corporations may want to consider using funds for the repayment of outstanding shareholder loans to individual shareholders, instead of using such funds for the purchase of passive income generating assets.
This strategy helps preserve the corporation’s small business deduction.
