Uncle Rob

It is now 2020 and your uncle Rob Silva has recently retired from his full-time job. He plans to spend more time on his business, Silva Plumbing Services (SPS), which he started several years ago. Uncle Rob is married with 2 children (ages 15 and 20). The 20 year old is enrolled in engineering at Concordia and his wife does not work.

The business has grown steadily over the years and Rob has accumulated many assets and investments. He has prepared an Exhibit 1 which estimates SPS's Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2020. You uncle has heard that if he incorporates, he will pay less taxes.

Rob currently operates SPS in the unincorporated form and needs to know what issues he should consider in deciding whether or not the business should be incorporated. He anticipates that the business will earn $150,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and assumes that the same income will be earned in 2021 within a corporation that will have a December 31 year-end.

If the assets of the business are transferred on January 1, 2021 (as per the information presented in Exhibit 1), Rob wants to know how the transfer can be accomplished and the relevant tax implications to ensure that the transfer will be tax-free. He has heard about the ITA 85(1) election

He also needs to know what issues he should consider in determining the value at which the assets should be transferred for tax purposes and any other pertinent advice regarding his decision.

Finally, he needs you to recommend a great compensation package that would be mutually beneficial from a tax point of view for his company and his family. They need about $60,000 cash annually, to live on.

Your uncle Rob has sought your advice in this major decision since he is very proud of the fact that you are taking an advanced taxation class and believes that you can help him.

Required: Prepare all the information required by your uncle Rob, more specifically:

A. In a c oncise point form, in all, list at least 10 advantages and disadvantages of incorporating

B. A quantitative analysis in respect to just the federal tax payable in 2021, if Rob continues to earn $150,000 of unincorporated business income versus earning that same income in a corp. and immediately declaring a dividend for the max after tax amount available. You must comment, in point form, on the implications to consider regarding the results of this analysis.

C. In a c oncise point form, for a tax-free transfer, list all the assets that s hould or should not be transferred via ITA 85(1); recommend other tax efficient ways to transfer the needed assets; the tax consequences of the asset transfer, regardless of how they are transferred; the implications of the legally stated capital, the PUC and ACB of the consideration that should be received, and any other relevant issues associated with the transfer of the business assets to a corp.
