When moving your business from a Canadian corporation to another corporation in a tax-free country, you are deemed to have disposed of that business assets’ at their Fair Market Value. This triggers capital gain tax, which must be paid to the CRA Proper tax planning is required to minimize capital gains tax, and to ensure that the profits of the offshore corporation are not taxed in Canada.
