The Federal Government is proposing some tax changes that will affect small businesses, at least those that are incorporated – especially doctors. Ottawa says these changes would close loopholes that give these businesses unfair advantages, but these businesses say the changes are unfair. The most notable is a proposal to tax passive investments in a corporation at a very high rate. Right now they are taxed at the lower business rate, but as soon as a a corporation owner takes the money out personally they have to pay full tax. Many rely on this deferral as a kind of pension scheme. This does not just affect doctors, but 60% of them are incorporated and they also say they were allowed to incorporate in lieu of getting fee hikes.
