Doing Business in Canada

Prior to a United States company carrying on business in Canada, careful planning is required. Choosing the right business structure can significantly reduce exposure to Canadian income tax. Currently, the highest marginal combined federal and provincial individual income tax rate is 50% (in Nova Scotia).

In addition to tax issues, careful consideration must be given to Canadian foreign investment regulation, financing alternatives, securities regulation, immigration procedures, employment law, directors and officers liability, international trade regulations, competition law, sale of goods and consumer protection, franchising, and intellectual property concerns.
