Salary vs. Dividends

Choosing Between Salary & Dividends

For incorporated business owners, choosing between salary and dividends can have significant tax and financial implications. The goal isn’t simply to choose one over the other, it’s to determine what works best for your situation.

Personal & Corporate Tax Rates

We analyze how income flows from your corporation to your personal return and the combined tax impact of different options.

CPP & RRSP Considerations

Salary creates CPP obligations and RRSP room. Dividends don't. We help you understand what matters most for your goals.

Short & Long-Term Goals

The right mix depends on your cash flow, growth plans, retirement timeline, and personal tax situation.

Tax Questions

Common Tax Questions

When should I start thinking about tax planning?

Year-round. The most effective tax strategies require time to implement — waiting until your return is due limits your options significantly. We recommend reviewing your tax position at least once mid-year.

Should I pay myself salary or dividends?

It depends on your personal tax rate, CPP goals, RRSP contribution strategy, and corporate cash flow. There’s no universal answer — we analyze your specific situation and model out the most tax-efficient approach.

What if I get a letter from the CRA?

Don’t ignore it. CRA correspondence ranges from simple information requests to audit notices. We help you understand what it means, prepare the appropriate response, and communicate with the CRA on your behalf.

Can you file prior-year tax returns?

Yes. We file outstanding T1 and T2 returns regularly. In many cases, filing late returns — even years later — can result in refunds, and voluntary disclosure can reduce or eliminate penalties.
