Our client, a high-income Canadian professional, had accumulated significant excess cash in his corporation, which he invested in Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs). Although GICs provided a low-risk return, the income generated was taxed at a high corporate rate of 50.67%, impacting the growth of his investments. Concerned about the high tax rate and seeking a more tax-efficient strategy, the client consulted us at Raman Nat Inc. for expert guidance.

Learn how Raman Nat Inc. helped a high-income professional reduce corporate tax on investments by adjusting his portfolio, achieving a 20% effective tax rate and maximizing after-tax returns.

THE PROBLEM

High Corporate Tax on Passive Investment Income from GICs

Investing excess corporate cash in GICs resulted in the income being taxed at a prohibitive rate of 50.67%, limiting the client’s ability to build his corporate and personal wealth. The client sought a way to reduce the tax burden on his corporate investments without significantly increasing his portfolio risk. This required a targeted tax strategy that would allow him to maximize after-tax returns within a risk profile aligned with his financial goals.

A team of 30 seems like quite a significant resource to focus on the digital pound,” Ian Taylor, an adviser to the trade association CryptoUK, told the Times. “It shows the impact it would have, and that the bank are serious about it.
