Only Canadian Resident Bid I'm a 50% shareholder of a canada corporation (CorpA). My business partner owns the other 50%. CorpA currently has no income and minimal value. We plan to hold it long-term as a parent company for multiple ventures. I'm looking for a CPA to advise on and help implement the following: Holding company setup. Incorporate a personal holding company and transfer my CorpA shares into it under a section 85 rollover. We want this done before our new venture builds value. New venture (NewCo). CorpA will own 62.5% of NewCo, three other partners will own 32.5%, and I'll own 5% separately. I need advice on whether to hold that 5% personally or through my holding company. Funding and early losses. NewCo is expected to lose money for its first few years before becoming profitable. I'd like advice on: how to fund it (shareholder loans versus equity, and through the corporate chain versus personally); how to preserve and use the losses; whether a personal write-off would be available if the venture fails; which credits or programs we may qualify for (SR&ED, BC venture capital tax credit, GST registration). Side business income. I have small side gigs. I need advice on whether to keep them as a sole proprietorship or incorporate a separate company under my holdco later. Ongoing work. I'll need annual accounting and corporate tax returns for the holding company, and possibly for CorpA and NewCo. I'd also like advice on moving cash between the companies tax-efficiently, and on sharing the small business deduction limit across associated companies.

Muhammad Waseem Dear Client, I can assist with coordinating and documenting your Canadian corporate restructuring and ongoing accounting requirements, including the personal holding company setup, Section 85 rollover of your CorpA shares, and the proposed ownership structure for NewCo. I can help organize the analysis around shareholder loans versus equity funding, treatment and preservation of early-stage losses, potential personal tax implications if the venture fails, SR&ED eligibility, BC venture capital tax credits, GST registration, and the tax considerations of holding your 5% NewCo interest personally versus through the holding company. I can also support the ongoing corporate accounting and tax workflow for the HoldCo, CorpA, and NewCo, including intercompany cash movements and associated-company considerations for the small business deduction. Since these are Canadian tax matters, the final advice and filings should be reviewed and signed off by a qualified Canadian CPA/tax professional. Could you share

The key here is getting the structure right **before NewCo builds value**, because the share transfer, 5% personal-vs-HoldCo ownership, funding method, loss treatment and association rules can all affect the long-term tax outcome. I can help review the proposed structure with you and coordinate the implementation around the Section 85 rollover, NewCo ownership, shareholder loans/equity, loss utilisation, SR&ED/GST considerations, side-business structure, intercompany cash movement and shared small-business deduction limits. I’d also want to model the relationship between HoldCo, CorpA and NewCo carefully, since associated corporations can have to share the $500,000 small-business limit and certain SR&ED limits. ([Canada][1]) For the BC venture capital credit, eligibility is quite specific and depends on the investment/company structure, so I’d verify that against the current BC rules rather than assuming NewCo qualifies. ([Canada][2]) I’d prefer to review the existing CorpA ownership documents, proposed NewCo share structure and your intended funding amounts before quoting a fixed implementation fee. I can start with a paid structuring consultation and then provide a clear milestone breakdown for the rollover, setup, filings and ongoing corporate work. Regards Rana.R

Hello, I’m a Canadian [CPA/Chartered Professional Accountant] with experience in corporate structuring, owner-managed businesses, tax planning, and corporate compliance. Your situation involves several interconnected Canadian tax and corporate-planning questions, so I would approach it as a complete structure rather than treating each issue separately. I would review potential eligibility for **SR&ED, the BC venture capital tax credit, GST registration, and other relevant programs** based on the actual business activities and ownership structure. I’d be happy to start with a review of the current CorpA share structure and the proposed NewCo capitalization table, then map out the Holdco structure and implementation steps. Best regards
