If you're incorporated, you've probably got retained earnings piling up — in a GIC, a market account, maybe real estate. And you've wondered: is this really the best it can do? For most owners, the honest answer is no.
Save My Seat — FreeWorse — once corporate passive income crosses $50,000 a year, the CRA quietly claws back your small business deduction, and most owners are never told. This session shows what a small group of incorporated owners are doing instead.
Earnings working in two places — why retained earnings can stay invested while also funding a tax-sheltered structure, with no net cash leaving the corporation.
The corporate-owned structure — the corporate-owned life insurance structure real incorporated owners are using, explained in plain language, not jargon.
The capital dividend account — how the CDA transfers corporate wealth to your family tax-free, and why most owners aren't using it.
The passive-income trap — how crossing $50k in corporate passive income costs you the small business deduction, and how to structure around it.
✓ You own an incorporated Canadian business
✓ You have retained earnings building up — roughly $150k or more (smaller balances still welcome)
✓ Your corporate cash is parked in a GIC, a market account, or real estate
✓ You've never had a clear answer for what your retained earnings should be doing
✕ You're not yet incorporated
✕ Your business is a side project, not your primary income
✕ You have no retained earnings to put to work
