The Silent Partner in Your Company's Investment Income
Is the Government Your Silent Partner?
When your corporation earns investment income, the tax rate can exceed 50%. That means for every dollar your investments earn, the government takes more than half. There's a better way.
The Problem
Investment income earned inside a Canadian corporation is subject to:
- High corporate tax rates (often 50%+)
- Refundable taxes that may never be recovered
- Double taxation when funds are distributed
The Solution
Corporate-owned permanent life insurance allows investment growth on a tax-deferred basis. The cash value grows without annual taxation, and can be accessed tax-efficiently.
How It Works
- Corporation purchases permanent life insurance
- Premiums are paid with corporate dollars
- Cash value grows tax-deferred inside the policy
- Death benefit passes to beneficiaries tax-free
- Capital dividend account credit eliminates double taxation
The Result
More money stays in your corporation and ultimately in your family's hands, instead of going to the government.
