Are you unknowingly setting yourself up to lose over 70% of the wealth you built up through capital gains in your Canadian holding company?Many incorporated business owners are unaware of a significant tax trap lurking in their corporate structures, especially those with holding companies in Canada. Without proper tax planning, your estate could face double taxation—meaning you pay taxes on the capital gain of your assets inside the company, and then your estate pays tax again on the transfer of shares to your heirs upon your death. This could result in more than double the taxes you’d pay if you held these assets in your personal name.In this episode, we break down the double-tax problem many Canadian business owners face and explore how recent government policies have made it harder for Canadians with holding companies to protect their wealth from excessive taxation.

The Canadian Income Tax Act has made it hard on incorporated business owners to know what to do with their retained earnings and in many cases, sending funds to a Canadian holding company is the most sensible move. However, without the proper participating whole life insurance policy designed to help mitigate the tax consequences, some estates will be left with a tax bill that may tax up to 70% of the capital gains of corporate held assets. Ready to connect?
