Canadian Taxation of Life Insurance, Fourth Edition |
| For those who practice in the field of business or personal tax and
estate planning, a clear understanding of current rules for taxation of life
insurance policies and annuity contracts is a vital requirement for
success. Canadian Taxation of Life Insurance is a comprehensive reference source that provides inestimable assistance to lawyers, accountants and financial and insurance advisors in supplying clients with business or personal tax and estate planning advice — and in evaluating, planning and maximizing the potential product benefits that life insurance products provide. The income tax rules applicable to life insurance policies are discussed from a current and historical perspective. The book discusses in detail the use of life insurance in estate and business planning contexts and the resulting tax consequences associated with these uses. In addition to the tax consequences of life insurance in the corporate, partnership or personal contexts, this book also discusses the accounting consequences associated with certain of these contexts. The tax consequences associated with common transactions involving life insurance policies, for example, transfers of ownership or other dispositions of a policy, are also discussed in depth. Current to August 1, 2007, the fourth edition includes comments relating to the Fourth Protocol to the Canada-US Tax Treaty. The text has been expanded and updated and includes material on the impact of new dividend tax rules, particularly in respect of buy sell planning; the concept of fundamental change (as related by the CRA in several technical interpretations) in relation to life insurance policy dispositions; the concept of impoverishment (as related by the CRA in several technical interpretations) in shareholder benefit contexts; GAAR and interest deductibility post “Lipson” decision and the impact on leveraged life insurance strategies; CRA commentary regarding insurance held by spousal trusts, and the new position of CRA relating to charitable gifts of existing life insurance.
