Dear TPC Financial Group Ltd. clients, associates, and other interested professionals,
As part of our commitment to professionals and business owners across Canada, our office has been doing our best to keep all parties informed of ongoing developments related to Bill Morneau’s proposed tax changes, as well as to help spread information to the general public about the impact of these changes.
CASE STUDY #2
The finance minister has presented small business owners and professionals as tax avoiders who are exploiting perceived “loopholes” in the system.
In last week’s case study, our office outlined how a younger dentist would be impacted by the income splitting restrictions proposed by Morneau.
For our current case study, we have provided an account of how these changes would impact investment income inside of a corporation, and what effect this could have on retirees.
Our case study focuses on Joe, who is in his first few years of retirement after finishing his career running a successful contracting company. This account of Joe and how his retirement income could be affected outlines how out of touch Mr. Morneau is with a large segment of the Canadian population. The Huffington Post article can be accessed by clicking the image below, or by clicking this link.
We encourage everyone to read, comment, and share the article if they agree. The more people that are aware of the challenges faced by young professionals, the softer the federal government’s stance will be on the proposed changes.

We also provided email and mailing addresses to get your letter in front of your MP as quickly and as easily as possible. If you wish to access this letter, you can download a copy here.
