Assumptions
Calculations use marginal tax rates as of Janaury 2024. Rates take all federal and provincial taxes and surtaxes into account and the basic personal tax credit. Calculations do not factor in the AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax), if applicable.


Note
You should consult with your tax advisor to assess how these changes affect you, your trust, and your corporations. There are tax and non-tax factors to consider so a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis is advisable.
