Canadian Tax and Estate Planning

Canada is an exciting, lucrative market for any number of businesses. Our culture, economy, and population present a great expansion opportunity for most industries, while our exchange rate, skilled labour force, and tax incentives make Canada an excellent choice for manufacturing and assembly plants, in particular.

Before you consider doing business in Canada, it’s important that you fully understand how your business is classified under Canadian tax laws. Your taxation status can vary depending upon a number of factors, such as whether or not you’re renting a showroom or warehouse, the value of the goods you’re importing to Canada, and whether you’re sending sales representatives from your country or hiring locals. By identifying where you fall, you can avoid future unpleasant run-ins with the Canada Revenue Agency, saving time and money in the long run.

Planning ahead is about more than tax compliance, however. The corporate tax planning team at Fuller Landau can help you structure your Canadian operations to ensure you maximize any opportunities for saving tax, while protecting the assets of your business.
