4 Business Structures > Self Employed > Partnerships > Incorporated private business > CCPC > Publicly listed corporation > Professional Corporations
5 Business Taxation 101 > Incorporated > General Private business corporate tax rates 26% > 25% > (11% Provincial, 15% Federal) (manufacturing, farming, mining) > CCPC > 15.5% > Publicly > Do (4.5% Federal, 11% Provincial) > On first $500,000 Traded companies not qualify as CCPC
6 Capital Gains Exemption > First $750,000 of capital gains are tax-free > Qualified small business shares > Qualified Farm property > 50% of assets actively used in the business for the last 24 months > 90% of assets actively used in the business at time of sale > Shares owned by individual for last 24 months
7 Calculating CDA > CDA = Life insurance death benefit ACB > Life insurance death benefit net of policy loans > not net of collateral loans > Applies to permanent and Term policies > Applies whether there is cash value or not > > Notes: > > ACB usually goes to zero after 20+ years, cannot be negative CDA has to be paid out equally to all shareholders of the same class
8 ACB > ACB Adjusted Cost Basis Ensures that corporate money gets taxed properly in personal hands > The ACB of policy tracks the original premium paid by a company for life insurance minus the NCPI > > Formula Premiums Paid increase ACB > NCPI decreases ACB >
9 NCPI > NCPI > Net Cost of Pure Insurance Net amount at risk (NAAR) for the year multiplied by the probability of death in that year, ie: similar to T1 rates > Based on 1975 Select and Ultimate mortality table > Costs for any benefits or riders removed > Removes any ratings on substandard risks
10 CDA Tax Trap > Problem: > Potential death benefit shortfall created by CDA/ACB > Net death benefit may fall short of required amount > Buy-sell > Solution: > Face plus fund plus ACB Increases face amount so that CDA paid is equal to or greater than original death benefit > Removes risk of the ACB tax grind on CDA > Removes risk of underinsuring the need >

35 Key Person Insurance Advisor Role > Establish the need for key person > Determine the value of key person > Recommend Solutions
36 Key Person Insurance > Replace the loss of a key person: > Owner/partner > Executives > Key sales people > Employees with highly specialized knowledge
37 Key Person Risks Chance of losing a 40 year-old to a long-term disability of 3 months or more before the age of 65 about 60% For three 40 year- olds the chance of one of them being disabled before age 65 about 90%
38 Value of a Key Person > Multiple > Debt of salary retirement > Replacement > Lost costs profits and increased expenses > creditors may reduce or withdraw credit > may lose customers > may lose other employees
39 Funding Solutions > Same as Buy Sell > Insurance > Life Insurance > Disability > Critical Illness
40 Key Person Insurance > Corporate owned and funded > Company is beneficiary > Premiums are not tax deductible > Creates > Can liquidity for company create benefits for key person s family > Shared ownership
41 Shared Ownership
42 Shared Ownership > Corporate Key-person/Buy-sell insurance required > Corporation has cash not required for growth of business > Shareholder wants to move corporate cash into personal hands > Shareholder > Shared seeking retirement funding arrangement cost strongly favours the shareholder
43 Shared Ownership Case Study Sole Shareholder, age 50 NS Corporation has a justification for corporate owned insurance. Corporation has excess cash not necessary for growth Shareholder wants to maximize retirement income tax-efficiently. $1Million
44 Corporation pays fair value for the assigned Face Amount Face Amount paid to the Corporation (CDA Credit) Genesis UL Face Amount plus FUND Shareholder Purchases Policy Shareholder Dies Shareholder assigns Face Amount to Corporation Fund Value paid to shareholder s beneficiary
45 Corporations share Survey the T100 market for a rate to use (Shareholder plans to stay in business beyond normal retirement age) Calculate the present value of T100 premium from now to life expectancy (approx. age 85 for a M50NS) Spread the Net Present Value out over the 10 year premium payment period

50 Executive Retirement
51 Adequate Pension a normal level of benefits would be the same benefits provided under a registered pension plan without regard to the Revenue Canada maximum. This would be 2% x years of service x final average earnings or about 70% of pre-retirement income for an employee with 35 years of service. CCRA roundtable discussion (1998)
52 RRSP Limits Max. Contribution Max. Income > 2012 $22,970 $127,611 > 2013 $23,820 $132,333 > 2014 $24,270 $134,833
53 Executive Retirement Strategies > IRS/IRP > IPP > RCA

59 Corporate IRS Step 4: Death and repayment Death benefit CDA = Death benefit Less ACB Death and repayment Heirs Non-taxable CDA dividends CDA ACB credits Retained earnings Regular taxable dividend Repay loans and Balance retained by heirs
60 Individual Pension Plan
61 Individual Pension Plan > Registered > Increases > Defined pension plan contribution room beyond RRSP limit benefit > Employer > Tax funded deductible contributions > Creditor Protected > Reduces RRSP Room through pension adjustment
62 RRSP vs. IPP
63 IA IPP Support > Prep and quote plan > Initial actuarial valuation and on-going monitoring > Past service calculation > Register > Annual statements > Pension > For plan with CRA adjustment calculation Quotes:
64 RCA s
65 Retirement Compensation Arrangements > Defined > Tax > More deductible contributions room than IPP > Creditor > Does benefit pension plan protected not affect personal RRSP room > Alternative to Bonus down strategy > Removes > Often capital from balance sheet used as Golden handcuffs
66 RCA Mechanics Non Insurance OPCO RCA INVESTMENT ACCOUNT RCA TRUST Refundable Tax Account
67 RCA Mechanics using Universal Life OPCO RCA INVESTMENT ACCOUNT RCA TRUST Refundable Tax Account
68 RCA Mechanics upon Retirement RCA INVESTMENT ACCOUNT RCA TRUST Refundable Tax Account

RRSP contrib. 35 yrs of service at retirement retires at 65 RRSP Retirement Income (assuming 5.5% ROR from age 65 to age 82) = $95,632 annual income RCA Expected Pension (indexing 5% to age 65, 70% of final 5 year average) = $321,647 annual income
