Is Ontario’s small business tax cut actually saving you money—or just shifting the tax bill somewhere else?

A lower corporate income tax rate sounds like a win for business owners, especially when headlines make the cut look dramatic. But if you eventually need to pull retained earnings out of your corporation, the personal tax side matters just as much as the corporate savings. This episode breaks down what the change really means, why the “savings” may not be as generous as they appear, and how business owners should think more strategically about salary, dividends, and retained earnings.

You’ll walk away with:

A clearer understanding of how Ontario’s small business tax cut affects active corporate income.
The round-trip math behind saving tax inside the corporation versus paying more when dividends come out personally.
Key planning questions to consider around retained earnings, passive income, salary, dividends, and long-term tax efficiency.

Press play now to understand whether this tax change helps your business—or quietly creates a bigger planning problem down the road.
