Sales and Transfers of Farm Land: Be Careful with the Details
<p>When a farmer decides it is time either to sell farm land or to transfer it to a child, the&nbsp;<em>Income Tax Act</em>&nbsp;can be a powerful ally. Sheltering a sale of farm land by using the capital gains exemption or the inter-generational rollover of farm land to a child can help the taxpayer move the land on a tax-deferred or tax-free basis. It is important, however, to be aware of all the rules associated with these strategies, as small details within the&nbsp;<em>Income Tax Act</em>&nbsp;can cause undesired consequences.</p>

Income Tax Considerations in Structuring Real Estate Transactions with Life Interest
<p>A life interest in real estate provides an exclusive right to use a property during the lifetime of the holder of the interest. Often, an individual will incorporate a life interest on a transfer of a property by way of gift to a relative in order to ensure that the individual has use of the property during their lifetime, to know for certain who will own the property when they die, and to avoid probate fees upon death.</p>

Safe Income Strips
<p>Safe income accumulates to particular shareholders on a per-share basis, with consideration given to the holding period of the share. This can result in differing amounts of safe income for different shareholders, particularly where reorganizations have occurred in the past or where shares have changed hands. As a result, an understanding of the share ownership history is required.</p>

U.S. citizens and Canadian trusts
<p>Trusts are important tools in Canadian tax and estate planning.&nbsp;Discretionary family trusts, in particular, have become common and are continually evolving. Some of the most powerful benefits of these tools include:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Flexibility</strong> &ndash; the ability to maintain control of assets while directing income and value as the trustees see fit.</li> <li><strong>Income splitting</strong> &ndash; directing income of the trust to lower-income beneficiaries (usually family members) to minimize the overall family tax burden.</li> <li><strong>Capital splitting</strong> &ndash; allocating capital gains to beneficiaries, enabling the use of multiple capital gains exemptions.</li> </ul>

Mitigating U.S. Tax exposure through the Closer Connection Statement
<p>Canadian persons that spend significant time in the United States can become subject to U.S. taxation and reporting requirements unexpectedly, even if they are not earning income from U.S. sources.&nbsp; Starting June 30th, 2014 a new initiative will begin that is designed to track a Canadian person&rsquo;s movement across the Canada/U.S. border.&nbsp; Prior to this new initiative, many Canadian persons felt, perhaps justifiably, that U.S. authorities had no way of actually knowing how many days they were present within their border.</p>
