Overview

Participants will receive an up-to-date overview of key corporate tax developments from the past year, including rate changes, enacted legislative changes, proposed legislation, emerging tax developments (e.g., draft legislation and budget measures), CRA interpretations, administrative guidance, and recent case law affecting private corporations. 

 


ADVISORY

Income Tax - Update, formerly a one-day course, has now been split into two separate courses. Corporate Tax - Update will cover legislation arising from Federal Budget 2025, and Personal Tax - Update will cover updates from Federal Budget Fall 2026.

 

Course Description

The course emphasizes how enacted legislative changes, proposed legislation, emerging tax developments (e.g., draft legislation and budget measures), CRA interpretations, administrative guidance, and recent case law affecting private corporations -  influence corporate tax planning, compliance, integration concepts, and decision-making for owner-managed and privately held businesses. 

Advisory: Due to the nature of this course and the wide range of topics covered, none of the topics are covered with in-depth material. The intent is to provide knowledge and awareness of the recent tax changes. One or more of the topics may be covered in more detail in other available courses.

  • Explain updates related to integration, dividends, passive income, income splitting, and the small business deduction.
  • Identify areas requiring deeper research or specialist support when advising corporate clients or preparing filings.
  • Identify evolving corporate compliance and reporting requirements, including international filings and CRA administrative processes.
