  2. This is very common for the employers to avoid expenses by asking their employees to sign contracts as corporations in Canada. If you are an IT professional in Canada and your employer has asked you to incorporate a business and sign the contract, you must know the tax implications of these decisions. When a corporation has an incorporated-employee who performs services on its behalf, it is called Personal Services Business (PSB) as per Income Tax Act in Canada. First, see if your relationship is of employee or independent contactor with the business for whom you are providing these services. IF the relationship is of employment nature, your corporation will be a PSB. If the relationship is of independent contractor, you have an active business income. Now, determining whether the relationship is employee or contractor, is a fact based exercise. Simply signing a contract and saying it is a contractor is not enough.

  3. A brilliant article written by Maroof H. Sabri provides a basic understanding about tax implications of incorporated employees. Earning a PSB income in Canada is subject to 33% federal corporate income rate plus provincial rates. In Ontario, if you have carried on a PSB, the tax rate will be 44.5%. Further, there are very limited deductions available as opposed to CCPC or other private corporations in Canada. This means such contractors end up paying lot more in Taxes and very little take home income. There are two exceptions. You should have “more” than five full time employees or if the income is generated through an associated corporation.It is always recommended to seek the advice a professional corporate income tax accountant in Canada in such cases. The instant decisions made today may have huge tax implications in the future.
