If you own an incorporated business in Alberta, one of the most common questions is: should you pay yourself a salary, dividends, or a combination of both?
The answer is not the same for every business owner. It can depend on your corporate income level, your personal tax situation, CPP contribution goals, spousal income considerations, and several other factors that are unique to your circumstances.
What works well for one incorporated professional may not be the right approach for another. Making this decision without understanding the full picture can sometimes mean paying more overall tax than necessary β or missing other planning opportunities that may be available.
Ahmed Jama CPA helps incorporated business owners in Edmonton and Alberta think through compensation strategies that fit their individual situation, within the framework of current Canadian tax rules.
