TAX PLANNING
​
The undertaking of legitimate transactions or arrangements with a view to avoiding or minimizing the payment of taxes.
Some or all of such efforts could also be referred to as Tax Avoidance. Care must be taken to ensure the steps taken are not abusive of the provisions they are making use of.
Depending upon your situation one or more tax planning opportunities may be reasonable. Some tax planning transactions include, but are not limited to:
​
-
Tax deferred sale of certain assets to a corporation (a section 85 rollover)
-
Recapitalization of a corporation to minimize punitive taxes such as tax on split income “TOSI”
-
TFSA versus RRSP
-
Salary versus dividend compensation
-
Division of assets in a tax deferred manner (so called Butterfly transactions)

Built with an individual in mind
​
Within the income tax act the least number of tax planning opportunities are built with an individual in mind.
However, just because there are fewer options available doesn’t mean that a sound tax plan cannot be put in place to keep the taxes you will have to pay to the lowest legal amount possible. Contact us to book a meeting to start getting your personal finance optimized for tax.
