Avoid Capital Gains Tax in Canada

Capital gains, capital losses and special deductions are three of the most common tax shelters. Let's take a closer look at each one:1. Capital gains occur when an individual sells something for more than they paid for it. These profits are taxable as long as they’re above the sale price of your itemized deduction limit ($250,000 in 2017). 2. Capital losses can be used to reduce your taxes on other income sources such as wages or self-employment earnings (up to $3,000 per year), up to a certain amount every year. The loss is applied against your total income earned that year from all sources – including investment returns and any regular dividend payments you receive from stocks or mutual funds.

Tax shelters can shield your income and investments from taxes. They work a lot like an umbrella, shielding your income and investments from taxes under specific conditions. There are many tax shelters available, so you should always consult a tax professional to help you choose the best one for your situation.

To create a tax shelter, you must have specific investment goals in mind. These goals should be consistent with the type of shelter you are considering. One common goal is to defer taxes. Deferring taxes can mean reducing or eliminating your taxes payable now or in the future.

It is important to remember that you can only use a tax shelter if you have earned income that is subject to taxes. When you use a tax shelter, you must first reduce your taxable income by the amount of the shelter. This will reduce the amount of taxes you owe now or in the future. You can then use the shelter to reduce your taxes even further.

There are many ways to avoid capital taxes. Consult with a tax professional to choose the best option for your specific situation.
