Small business owners who paid wages were always subject to reasonableness of the wage in relation to the effort put in by the family member. You did not have to be incorporated to pay family members, proprietors and /or business partners were able to do this as a bona fide business expense. The "sprinkling" among family members, is the sprinkling of dividends, which income has already been subject to corporate income tax before the dividend can be paid out.
Often these businesses were set up to benefit the "family", with different classes of shares owned by different members of the family. The share structure is such that you could pay dividends on one class of shares to the exclusion of another. This takes place as a regular course in publically traded companies. Our P.M. sees no issue with these public companies, heaven forbid that a small business owner may take advantage of the situation. The Liberals will pay a price for this at the polls.
