2023 Federal Budget Commentary

On March 28, 2023, the Federal Government tabled Budget 2023, which proposed a broad array of provisions impacting many individuals and businesses. Perhaps most importantly, the Budget did not include any changes to the personal or corporate tax rates or the inclusion rate on taxable capital gains. Some of the items of interest include the following:

• Intergenerational Business Transfers – Amendments were introduced to ensure that relieving provisions (implemented in Bill C-208 in 2021) will only apply to genuine intergenerational business transfers, requiring:
  
  • control by the child,
  • activity of the child in the business, and
  • active business continuing through a 3 or 10-year term, depending on the situation.
• Introduction of employee ownership trusts to facilitate business sales to employees.
  Significant modifications to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) to target high-income earners.
  Modifications to RESPs and RDSPs to add additional flexibility.

Please download our in-depth commentary document for more details on these items.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Testimonial from Rob Waterman - President at Waterman Sales Ltd.

We have been in Business since 1992 and had an accountant who was a family friend. When he retired, we needed to find a new accountant. Jacob at Hendry Warren was recommended to us through our Lawyer. We met with him and were impressed immediately; over the years we have gotten to know more of the staff and are equally impressed. They have done our company taxes, company valuations, share purchases, tax planning, covid relief, personal taxes, etc. All of which have gone very smoothly. Hendry Warren is aware of new legislation and has helped us grow as a company.
