Tax on Split Income | Tip 8
Qualifying shareholders of private companies may be allowed to extract dividends at capital gain rates.
This arrangement results in the shareholder being taxed on half of the compensation received from the corporation.
The after tax-funds can be used to split income with non-active family members.
Please contact SB Partners to learn more, or to discuss any of our signature TOSI Solutions.
Tax on Passive Income | Tip 8
For corporations earning active business income, it might be advantageous to use corporate funds towards the repayment of corporate debt or the purchase of active business income generating assets (such as buildings, equipment, inventory and machinery) instead of being invested in passive income generating assets.
This strategy helps preserve the corporation’s small business deduction.
