- 11. Selling into the United States IP and Taxes
- 12. Agenda • Taxes on Business Income • Capital Gain Exemption on Small Business Shares • Corporate Structures • Intellectual Property • U.S. Taxes
- 13. A Good Problem to Have! The company is making money. What do I do?
- 14. Taxes on Business Income • The small business deduction reduces the corporate tax rate down to 15.5% for taxable income up to $500,000 (for active business activities) • Must be shared among “associated” companies
- 15. Retain Income in the Business • Retaining funds in the business allows you to earn a rate of return on a higher principal balance than if you bonus or dividend out the funds • After-tax funds in a corporation is 84.5% vs. personal of 53.5% = difference of 31% • Any investment income is taxed at 48% in the corporation but a portion of this tax is refundable later if a dividend is paid out of the corporation
- 16. Capital Gain Exemption on Small Business Shares • This is an important tax break for business owners • Allows for each shareholder to realize a gain up to $800,000 tax free = savings of $185,000 • Need to ensure that the shares qualify for the exemption
- 17. Capital Gain Exemption on Small Business Shares Rules: • Shares must be of a Canadian controlled private small business corporation • At time of disposition, 90% of the corporation’s assets are directly used in active business carried on in Canada • Shares were held for more than 24 months preceding disposition with 50% of the assets used in active business during that period
- 18. Capital Gain Exemption on Small Business Shares • Need to ensure that the company does not have significant excess assets such as excessive cash or investments held in it • Excess capital and investments are at risk from creditors
- 19. Problems? • Company retains profits and invests within the corporation. Eventually the company won’t meet the tests for the capital gain exemption as investment assets build up • Excess cash is held in company which is at risk to creditors What can we do?
- 20. Holding Company Dividend Pay a dividend up to the holding company and invest the assets in the holding company Still have a problem since the holding company doesn’t get a capital gain exemption Operating Company Holdco Shareholder
- 21. What to Do? • Use a Family Trust to own the operating company and have the holding company as a beneficiary of the Family Trust • Allows you to pay a dividend up to the holding company on a tax-free basis for investment • If the company is sold, the gain would occur at the Family Trust level
- 22. Family Trust Structure • The beneficiaries of the Trust include family members and a corporate beneficiary • Beneficiaries over the age of 18 can receive a dividend to split income • Assuming no other sources of income, a dividend of $49,000 would be essentially tax-free
- 23. Family Trust Structure • Provides ability to multiply the capital gain exemption over several beneficiaries. A typical family of four results in an overall capital gain exemption of $3,200,000 • Excess cash can be transferred to the corporate beneficiary without triggering additional tax on the dividend

- 25. Problem? • What about my intellectual property? Is it at risk? What can we do?
- 26. IP Held in a Separate Corporation Operating Company Family Trust BeneficiariesTrustee Dividend Corporate Beneficiary IP Services charge
- 27. Sales to U.S. Customers • If you earn income from sales to the U.S., you should file a U.S. Corporate Tax Return • If you don’t have a physical presence in the U.S., then it will likely qualify under the U.S.- Canada Tax Treaty and no taxes apply • Protective filing • Don’t charge HST to customer outside Canada
- 28. Sales to U.S. Customers • If you have a physical presence in the U.S. (i.e. office, employees) then you will need to file a full U.S. Tax Return and pay tax to the IRS • Need to determine effect of U.S. state taxes and possibly city taxes
