Re: "As I understand it, Canadian taxes are pretty high." <A HREF="http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/business/topics/corporations/rates-e.html" target="_blank">http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/business/topics/corporations/rates-e.html</A> Corporation tax rates Federal: The basic rate of Part I tax is 38% of your taxable income, 28% after federal tax abatment. For Canadian-controlled private corporations claiming the small business deduction the net tax rate is 12%. For the other corporations, the net tax rate is 21%. Provincial or territorial: Generally, provinces and territories have two rates of income tax—a lower rate and a higher rate. The lower rate applies to either: the income eligible for the federal small business deduction; or the income based on limits established by the particular province or territory. The higher rate applies to all other taxable income.
