This is our main tax information forum which deals with topics concerning Canadians living and working in the U.S., U.S. citizens contemplating working in Canada, and all aspects of Canadian and U.S. income tax and related adminstrative issues.
Will you please expand on a brief answer you gave to a previous question? From 7/29/09:
"1) Is it advantageous to incorporate in Canada or will the "retained earnings" rules from the US nullify any benefit that incorporation will give me? "
You replied : "there is no need to incorporate to get the write-offs you mention. Incorporation would be more for a personal liability benefit."
Can you detail what personal liability benefits exist for someone who incorporates in Canada? If this needs to be asked elsewhere please let me know. Thank you.
The liability benefits are from incorporating in itself, not from incorporating in a specific jurisdiction.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
