37
Q

When investor holds stocks, they face two taxes (dividend taxation and on capital gains),

What does the dividend tax credit apply to?

A

only dividendds paid by canadian companies (encouraages canadian investors to support canada bc less taxes paid from dividednds)

this is basically a tax formula reducing tax rate on dividends recieved by stock holders who hold stock in canadian companies

38
Q

Individual Canadian investors also benefit from a tax reduction for capital gains. Capital gains arise
when an investment increases in value above its purchase price. For capital gains, taxes apply at 50% of
the applicable marginal rate. For example, individuals in Newfoundland in the highest bracket in

A

In practice, capital gains are lightly taxed because individuals pay taxes on realized capital gains only
when stock is sold. As many individuals hold shares for a long time (they have unrealized capital gains),
the time value of money dramatically reduces the effective tax rate on capital gains. Also, investors can
manage capital gain realization to offset losses in many cases.

39
Q

How are corporate taxes managed

A

-higher prices for consumers
-low wage to workers
-low returns for investors

Q

Refer to notes on the following pages.
All rates must be prorated for taxation years that straddle the effective date of the rate changes. The tax rates in this table reflect federal and provincial
income tax rate changes that were substantively enacted as at July 31, 2020.

interest paid is deducted from EBIT in calculating income but dividends paid are not. Since interest is a
tax-deductible expense, debt financing has a tax advantage over financing with common shares. To
illustrate, Table 2.2 shows that Canadian Tire paid $288.1 million in taxes on taxable Page 52 income
of $1,182.9 million. The firm’s tax rate is $288.1/1,182.9 = 24.36%. This means that to pay another
$1 in dividends, Canadian Tire must increase EBIT by $1.32. Of the marginal $1.32 EBIT, 24.36%, or
32 cents, goes in taxes, leaving $1 to increase dividends. In general, a taxable firm must earn 1/(1 − Tax
rate) in additional EBIT for each extra dollar of dividends. Because interest is tax deductible, Canadian
Tire needs to earn only $1 more in EBIT to be able to pay $1 in added interest.
The tables are turned when we contrast interest and dividends earned by the firm. Interest earned is fully
taxable, just like any other form of ordinary income. Dividends on common shares received from other
Canadian corporations qualify for a 100% exemption and are received tax free.

Q

Capital Gains and Carry-Forward and Carry-Back

A

When a firm disposes of an asset for more than it paid originally, the difference is a capital gain. As with
individuals, firms receive favourable tax treatment on capital gains. At the time of writing, capital gains
received by corporations are taxed at 50% of the marginal tax rate.
When calculating capital gains for tax purposes, a firm nets out all capital losses in the same year. If
capital losses exceed capital gains, the net capital loss may be carried back to reduce taxable capital
gains in the three prior years. Under this loss carry-back feature, a firm files a revised tax return and
receives a refund of prior years’ taxes. For example, suppose a Canadian corporation experienced a net
capital loss of $1 million in 2019 and net capital gains of $300,000 in 2018, $200,000 in 2017, and
$150,000 in 2016. Said corporation could carry back a total of $650,000 to get a refund on its taxes.
The remaining $350,000 can be carried forward indefinitely to reduce future taxes on capital gains. This
is a loss carry-forward.
A similar loss carry-back and carry-forward applies to non-capital losses. Non-capital losses can be
carried back three years. Carrying non-capital losses forward is a bit more complex, as different rules
apply for different types of losses

42
Q

What is capital cost allowance cca

A

depreciaiton for tax purposes!

43
Q

What are the rules for revaluation under IFRS

A
  1. all items in an asset class should be revalued together
  2. revaluation performed regularly enough so carrying aount not MATERIALLY diff from fair value
44
Q

what is capital gain tax

A

paid on the investments increase in value over the price it was purchased

45
Q

What is CCA “TAX SHIELD”

A

capital cost allowance is depreciation for tax purposes
-> you deduct this before tax and this lowers the taxes you face

46
Q

How to apply cca

A

ONLY BUSINESSES CAN USE THIS, AND YOU APPLY THE ACCELERATED INVESTMENT RULE

47
Q

what is accelerated investment rule

A

in the first year, 1 and 1/2 times the prescribed rate can be used for CCA

48
Q

how to apply accelerated investment rule

A
  1. Look at what class the asset falls into, and note the rate of tax
  2. Take the beginning fixed asset IN YEAR ONE only, multiply it by 1.5, then multiply it by the rate of tax

Beginning fixed asset x 1.5 x rate%= CCA

  1. [Beginning fixed assets-CCA] The answer is your ending fixed assets for this year
  2. For year 2, take the past years ending fixed assets and then multply by REGULAR tax rate (no 1.5)

Ending fixed assets x %Rate= CCA

  1. Subtract 2nd cca from the first ending to get second ending

Ending fixed assets- CCA= Ending Fixed Assets 2

49
Q

What is an asset class CCA

A

Asset class could be machinery, and a firm could have 15 machines

asset class could be vehicles and they could have 349 vehicles

COLLECTION OF LIKE ASSETS

50
Q

When an asset is sold, what happens to the asset class

A

REDUCE it, by either the realized value of the asset or by its original cost (whichever is less)

51
Q

What is closing an asset class

A

when the final asset in a class is sold, the class is empty,

SO WE TERMINATE THE ASSET CLASS!!!

this can result in either a terminal loss or recaptured CCA

52
Q

Terminal Loss

A

difference between the Undepreciated Capital Cost (UCC) and adjusted cost when the UCC is greated

Adjusted Cost- UCC, UCC is greater (negative value)

53
Q

Recaptured CCA

A

THE TAXABLE difference between the adjusted cost and the UCC when the UCC is smaller

Adjusted cost-UCC, UCC is smaller

54
Q

How to do CCA question where you determine if there is a CCA recapture or terminal loss?

A
  1. MAKE A TABLE TO PLAN OUT YEARS (Beginning UCC | CCA | ENDING UCC)
  2. Beginning fixed assets x 1.5 x tax rate=CCA
  3. Beginning fixed- CCA= Ending Fixed Assets Y1
  4. Ending Fixed Assets Y1 x tax rate= CCA
  5. Ending Fixed Assets Y1- CCA- Ending Fixed Assets Y2

— do this as much as you need to—

  1. Figure out the final ending fixed assets value, and see
    - IS THERE A CAPITAL GAIN? was asset sold for MORE than it was BOUGHT(no if depreciation occured)
    -IS THERE A CCA RECAPTURE? If Ending UCC< Adjusted cost (sold for more than the ending value)
    FIGURE OUT CCA RECAPTURE THROUGH (-)
    -IS THERE A TERMINAL LOSS? If Ending UCC>Adjusted cost (sold for less than the ending value)
