On July 18, 2017, the Federal Liberal government announced proposed legislative changes that will have a far-reaching tax impact on private companies and their shareholders. The draft legislation would mean significant policy changes to the taxation of:
1. Payments to shareholders of private companies,
2. Capital gains realized on the sale of certain private company shares,
3. Income from passive investments inside a private corporation, and
4. The conversion of a private corporation’s income into capital gains.
As a member of DFK Canada, we have compiled four papers that discuss the proposed changes and the potential impact on the taxation of small businesses and their owners. For a copy of each detailed paper, please click on the links below to access our website.

What Are We Doing?
As part of DFK Canada, we are pro-actively seeking changes to these proposals by discussing their impact with our clients and contacting local MP’s to advise them of the far-reaching impact these rule changes will have on small businesses in Canada. Those most impacted by the proposals are being portrayed as the wealthiest of Canadians. We know otherwise. We will continue to keep our clients up to date as we learn more about the proposed changes.

Proposed tax reforms don't crack down on the wealthy; they threaten small business. Chad Saikaley, of our associates, Ginsberg Gluzman Fage & Levitz, LLP in Ottawa, has penned an article published in the Ottawa Citizen this morning regarding the proposed changes to federal income tax legislation. The federal Department of Finance is characterizing the proposed changes as a crackdown on the wealthy. Read Chad's article for a different perspective.
On July 18, 2017, the Department of Finance released shocking changes to the Lifetime Capital Gains Deduction, Income Sprinkling and released other extremely complex rules involving corporations and trusts. These changes do affect your farm so we encourage you to read this article.
The new tax policies introduced by the Canadian Federal Government on July 18, 2017 appear likely to materially harm the Canadian economy including, by exposing Canadian small business owners to tax rates of 93% or even more.
