Course Description

Whether for performance reasons, planning reasons, or just because of the evolution of the life-cycle of a corporation (or its shareholders), CPAs are often required to assist in the “shutting down” of a corporation.  This may occur via dissolution, amalgamation, or wind-up. This course discusses the key tax considerations to address in each of these scenarios.

Although there will be coverage of the issues associated with the winding-up of smaller “mom and pop” type corporations that are ceasing operations, this only represents a small portion of the course coverage.  The remainder of the seminar coverage will be more applicable to corporations within larger corporate groups. As an intermediate level course, there will not be any coverage of specific issues related to T2 preparation.

Applicable for

Professionals who are involved in winding up/dissolving corporations or who advise clients that are involved in winding up/dissolving corporations. Particular focus will be placed on private companies.
