2012 Taxes: Income Splitting and Attribution

Admittedly, not an easy tax subject to get your head around, but in the end can be well worth taking the time to understand and apply if the conditions are right for you.

In short, the Income Tax Act contains rules designed to eliminate the ability for a taxpayer in a high tax bracket to shift income to a lower-bracket taxpayer.  Knowing the rules and working within the restrictions can be beneficial but in general it requires the assistance of a tax professional to work out the details.  If you think you might benefit from income sharing, we can help you to work through any options that might apply.  For more details on this and other relevant tax subjects, please visit our website, Taxes pages. http://www.liwanpo.com/taxes_personal.php
