Investments & Holding Corps — CPA Services

Tax-efficient corporate structures for investors and holding companies.

Whether you are building a real estate portfolio, accumulating passive investments inside a holding company, or managing a multi-entity corporate structure, we provide the accounting and strategic tax planning to do it right.

The Challenges

What makes Investments & Holding Corps accounting different.

Your industry has specific CRA rules, deduction strategies, and compliance obligations that general accountants often miss. Here is where we focus.

Passive Income & RDTOH

Investment income inside a corporation is taxed at high rates but generates Refundable Dividend Tax on Hand. Managing this mechanism correctly prevents permanent over-taxation.

SBD Erosion Threshold

Passive income above $50,000 in a CCPC reduces access to the Small Business Deduction the following year. We plan around this threshold.

Intercompany Dividends & Loans

Moving money between operating and holding companies requires careful attention to Part IV tax, shareholder loan rules, and attribution rules.

Rental Property Accounting

Rental income, CCA on real estate, mortgage interest, and capital gain calculations on disposition require specific knowledge of real estate tax rules.

Capital Gains Planning

Timing the disposition of corporate investments and real estate — and using capital losses strategically — can significantly reduce the tax cost of growing your portfolio.

Estate & Succession Planning

Holding companies are often central to estate planning. We work with your legal and financial advisors to ensure the structure supports your succession goals.
