When you die owning a corporation in Canada, the CRA can take up to 80% of its value through layers of taxation — leaving your family with almost nothing.

In this video, I break down how this actually happens using a simple $1 million corporation example, and why most business owners only discover this problem when it's already too late.

You'll learn:

• How CRA applies a deemed disposition when you die

• How a $1M corporation can trigger over $800K in total taxes

• How capital gains tax, dividend tax, and corporate tax stack together

• What "double" and "triple" taxation really mean in practice

• What post-mortem tax planning is

• What strategies can reduce the tax outcome from approximately 80% down to approximately 27%

• Why this issue affects employees, jobs, and entire communities — not just owners

• The three questions every incorporated business owner must ask their tax advisor
