Information on PSB’s (Personal Services Business) New Rules

The Oil and Gas Business is very familiar with the whole idea of obtaining contract services throught personal business corporations.  It’s important to know whether these personal business corporations are classified as Personal Services Businesses (PSB’s) for income tax purposes.  On October 31, 2011, the federal government released proposed legislation that, if enacted, could have a significant impact on the income tax rates of PSB’s, and how Oil and Gas companies contract with these corporations.

Are you at Risk of being assessed as a PSB?  The CRA considers 4 major factors as indicative of an employee – employer relationship: Control, Chance of Profit or Risk of Loss, Ownership of Tools, Integration.  Below is a test you can conduct to help you in determining if you are at risk, click on the following:
