The use of a pipeline is often justified as avoiding "double-tax" in the sense that there has been tax imposed as a capital gain on the death of a shareholder followed by further tax in the form of a dividend realized when the assets are distributed.

In 2018, amendments to the Income Tax Act were enacted to limit the $500,000 federal small business limit where a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC) earns investment income. For every $1 of Adjusted Aggregate Investment Income (AAII) that a CCPC earns in excess of $50,000, its small business limit will be reduced by $5. The full small business limit, where the CCPC earns $150,000 or more of AAII, will be eliminated. AAII effectively includes any investment income that is not incidental or does not pertain to an active asset. Note that in Saskatchewan, the grind will reduce the provincial small business limit by $6 for every $1 of AAII because of the province’s higher provincial small business limit ($600,000).

Often, there are other children in the family who have left the farm and have blazed their own paths in life.
The Vancouver-based firm Wolrige Mahon has undergone an exciting international rebrand as Baker Tilly WM LLP.

Together they are now Baker Tilly WM LLP.
In your farming business, you are likely to acquire depreciable property such as buildings or equipment. Since this property wears out or becomes obsolete over time, you can deduct the cost of each item over a period of several years in an annual deduction known as the capital cost allowance (CCA). For example, before recent changes to the rules, you would receive half of the 30 per cent CCA in the first year after purchasing a Class 10 asset (e.g., a self-propelled vehicle). If you bought a tractor that cost $100,000, you would receive a $15,000 write-off in the first year. In subsequent years, that 15 per cent would increase to 30 per cent of the remaining balance.
