O Luke could have the corporation provide him with an annual non-cash gift costing the corporation no more than $500 and the gift would not result in a taxable benefit to Luke. w Hide question 14 feedback Answer c) is correct. The corporate tax rate on taxable income below the business limit of a Canadian-controlled private corporation is generally less than the personal marginal tax rate of the shareholder. Dividend payments out of after-tax income can be deferred so that personal tax is not paid by the shareholder until dividends are paid out at a later date. As a result, the shareholder manager is able to defer paying tax on the difference between his personal marginal tax rate and the corporate tax rate on the after-tax income retained in the corporation.
