Here's the answer: the rationale for incorporation is the difference between paying income taxes at your personal rate, which can be as high as 53.53% (Ontario's highest marginal rate in 2020 after $220,000 of income), or your corporate small business deduction (SBD) rate of 12.2% (Ontario's combined federal and provincial tax rate). But in addition to the (potentially substantial) tax benefits of incorporation, you will also get increased flexibility in choosing the government programs in which to participate and invest.

A good financial planner should acknowledge that they have absolutely no control of the markets. While we do all try our best to spot trends and mispricings, in some form or fashion, we are always riding along with the ebbs and flows of market movements.

Taxes, in contrast, we have complete control over (within the rules and parameters of the tax code). Taxes are factual, they are mathematics, they are “known knowns.” This means that we can master and control them. While we cannot avoid them, we have the ability to plan and mitigate some taxes. In our financial lives, our focus should be on controlling the controllable—and the corporation is a powerful tool that allows us to control our tax bill.
