Tax Saving of Claiming Capital Gains Exemption
A Canadian business owner who carries on an active business through a corporation may be eligible for an $800,000 lifetime capital gains exemption (indexed for inflation after 2014) on the sale of his/her corporation shares or on the deemed disposition of his/her corporation shares immediately before his/her passing. For a Canadian business owner in the top marginal tax bracket, the claim of the $800,000 lifetime capital gains exemption will result in a tax saving ranging from $156,000 to $200,000, depending on the province in which the business owner is a resident.
