Do you have any idea what a physician makes? Even in 'poor nova scotia', in a lower-paid specialty, an ed physician makes $225 000 a year. Little overhead. Yes, i could keep my corp open and when my kids are older really reap the savings - 50 000 or more a year. But why? How is that fair? I am fine off now. I am lucky. I dont begrudge the small business owner running a risky restaurant business the tax avenues available but i can 't justify to myself why i need or should use them. I can do very well without them. If others feel differently, that's up to them. But MDs would be a whole lot better off if we advocated for a real pooled pension plan that we all funded and meaningful parental leaves rather than these backdoor tax deals.
