We want to help you develop strategic approaches to meet the needs of your business clients. That's why we've created the
Corporate Income Tax Optimizer (CITO) concept—to support you in your advisory role, boost your sales and contribute to your success.
What is the Corporate Income Tax Optimizer?
This concept offers a strategic framework to help owners of incorporated businesses assess the tax implications of passive investment income and see the benefits.
Investing in corporate-owned life and critical illness insurance can:
| Reduce tax impact of passive investment income |
| Provide non-taxable benefits in the event of death or covered critical illness |
| Increase business liquidity and provide retirement income as needed |
Target clientele
The CITO is designed for business owners who:
- operate a Canadian-controlled private corporation (CCPC)
- have a business that generates recurring profit and qualifies for the Small Business Deduction (SBD)
- have investments generating more than $50,000 in passive investment income in a year
- have a need and are insurable for life and critical illness insurance
It helps improve how a business manages risk in the event of death or critical illness of a shareholder or key employee.
