Tax planning in Hamilton, Ontario
Practical planning to lower your tax bill this year and every year after.
Tax planning for small business in Hamilton
Good tax planning happens before year-end, not after. We look at your income, your business and your goals, then build a plan that reduces tax legally and keeps you ready for what comes next.
From Ancaster, Dundas and Stoney Creek to Westdale and Waterdown, we serve owners and households who want a responsive accounting partner without big-city fees or complexity.
For business owners, planning often covers owner compensation, corporate structure, holding companies and the lifetime capital gains exemption on qualified small business shares. For individuals, it means using RRSPs, TFSAs, FHSAs and other tools in the right order.
We revisit the plan every year, because tax law, income and goals all change.

When should I start tax planning?
Ideally several months before your year-end. Many strategies, such as RRSP contributions, salary and dividend decisions or equipment purchases, need to happen before the period closes.
Is tax planning only for high earners?
No. Even modest incomes benefit from using registered accounts, claiming the right credits and structuring self-employment properly. The savings scale with your situation.
What is TOSI?
Tax on split income is a rule that taxes certain dividends and other income paid to family members at the top rate unless an exclusion applies. It matters when you pay family members through a private corporation.
