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.

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.
