Incorporating a business is a powerful step toward financial growth and flexibility. Not only does it offer tax advantages, but it also provides long-term benefits for your family and future generations. Below are some key benefits of incorporating your business:
1. Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption
One of the greatest tax benefits for Canadian business owners is the lifetime capital gains exemption (LCGE). Currently, you can shelter up to $900,000 from taxes when selling your qualifying business. This could translate into significant savings when it’s time to exit your business.
2. Control Over Salary and Dividends
As a corporation owner, you gain greater control over how you pay yourself. By adjusting the mix between salary and dividends, you can manage your personal income taxes more effectively. This allows you to keep more of your hard-earned money.
3. Higher Income Splitting with Family Members
Incorporation gives you the flexibility to pay family members, such as a spouse or kids, from the company’s income. This income splitting can help reduce your family’s overall tax burden, particularly if your family members are in lower tax brackets.
4. Generational Wealth Transfer
Incorporating makes it easier to pass on the business to your children. It facilitates generational transfer, helping your family preserve the wealth you’ve built while enjoying tax deferral benefits.
5. Small Business Deduction
Small Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPC) can access the small business deduction (SBD), which allows for a lower tax rate on the first $500,000 of active business income. This can free up more funds for reinvestment and growth.
