47 CONTRACTOR OR EMPLOYEE? What defines an employer employee relationship? Numbers of factors: Client controls amount, nature and direction of work Remuneration is by the hour, week or month Worker must work specified hours Services provided for only one client Tools, materials, facilities provided by client 47
48 CONSEQUENCES OF BEING A PSB Not permitted to claim small business deduction Deductible expenses are restricted i.e., transportation, training of employees, advertising not permitted As of October 31 st, 2011, no longer permitted to claim federal general rate reduction RESULT: Take hike of 13%!! 48

55 PSB: Does Incorporating Make Sense? If business will be considered PSB, does incorporating make sense? If owner will spend all earnings personally each year, employee-employer (or sole proprietor) status is typically better (from a tax perspective) If owner can arrange for more control/risk over work, PSB status may be avoided If business is currently a PSB, consider regular bonuses/salaries to avoid PSB tax rates 55
