Wrongful dismissal: When reasons do not constitute cause
Without a doubt, the single most common issue brought to employment lawyers is dismissal of employees. Although most human resource (HR) professionals are educated and certified in this field, many find it impossible to keep up with changing case law, court decisions and penalties. Those employers who do not have onsite HR professional managers or directors also tend to terminate based on their views, winding up in court after the fact, as employees become more aware of their rights.

A less taxing take on TOSI
The “kiddie tax” was introduced in 2000 to deter income splitting with minor children by enforcing taxation at the highest marginal tax rate on the income received and denying certain personal tax credits. In recent years, new legislation expanded the tax on split income (TOSI), extending beyond minor children to include certain adults as well.

Canadians doing business in the U.S.
​With the economy in Alberta the way it is, it is no surprise that oilfield workers are searching for business opportunities south of the border. But they and any other Canadians seeking to establish their business in the U.S. may not realize that there can be a lot of red tape to deal with.

The opportunities and pitfalls of farmland ownership
As advisors, we are often asked whether farmland should be held in a corporation or personally. The question arises often in the context of incorporating farming operations. Previous Farm Alerts discussed the merits of incorporating as a way of reducing taxes due to low corporate tax rates and deferral of personal income. It is important to consider the tax impact of current and future transactions involving the farmland to become comfortable in that decision.
