Flow-through shares have become increasingly popular among sophisticated investors seeking to minimize their taxes. They remain one of the few legitimate tax shelters available to Canadians and offer investors an equivalent tax deduction of up to 145% of their initial investment (up to 140% in 2009).
Flow-through shares are approved by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and are in ideal investment for
-
(a) high net worth or high income individuals,
-
(b) those who wish to withdraw funds from RRSP/RRIFs in a tax-effective manner,
-
(c) anyone faced with a high current or past tax bill (including corporations), or
-
(d) anyone who wants to donate to charities at virtually no after-tax cost.
