Smarter Tax Strategies for Canadian Business Owners

Why corporate tax planning matters

At FINANCIAL SIMPLE, we help incorporated business owners reduce their tax burden, grow corporate wealth, and protect their legacy using advanced tax and insurance strategies—while staying 100% compliant with Canadian tax law.


As your business grows, so does your tax bill. But did you know most Canadian business owners are paying more tax than they should—simply because they haven’t structured their finances properly?

Corporate tax planning is not about cutting corners. It's about using the rules to your advantage, building long-term wealth inside your corporation, and ensuring your money works harder for you—not the CRA.

What we help you achieve

  • Reduce annual taxes paid by your business

  • Grow investments tax-efficiently within your corporation

  • Create a tax-advantage retirement income stream

  • Protect business cash flow from unnecessary tax exposure

  • Transition wealth to your family in a tax-smart way

  • Ensure your business succession is planned—on your terms

Strategies we use

We design and implement personalized plans based on your unique business structure, income, and long-term goals. Our core strategies include:

Income Splitting

Minimize family taxes by paying reasonable compensation to family members, either through dividends or salaries—legally and strategically.

Holding Companies & Investment Corporations

Use a holding company to isolate risk, shelter retained earnings and invest passively without affecting your active business income.

Corporate-Owned Life Insurance

Access the power of permanent insurance (like Whole Life or Universal Life) to:

Grow corporate assets tax-free

Fund buy-sell agreements

Cover taxes due on death

Unlock your Capital Dividend Account (CDA) for tax-free shareholder payouts

Individual Pension Plans (IRP)

We design structured retirement plans that allow for larger contributions than RRSPs—fully deductible by your corporation.

Capital Dividend Account (CDA) Optimization

We help you unlock tax-free dividends to shareholders through careful planning around investments, insurance, and capital gains.

Section 85 Rollovers & Estate Freezes

Transfer assets into a corporation or freeze their value for future generations—without triggering immediate tax.

The 83-12 Strategy (Advanced Tax Optimization)

Take advantage of Paragraph 83(2)(b) and Subsection 12.2 of the Income Tax Act to extract retained earnings through life insurance tax-free, while maintaining full control and ownership.
