Frequently Asked Questions
1What are the tax advantages of operating under a PREC?
You can take advantage of the reduced 12.5% corporate tax rate on the first $500,000 of profit every year.
You also benefit from additional savings on partially deductible expenses. Income splitting can further increase tax benefits!
2Is a PREC the same as a normal corporation?
In addition to general corporate laws, PRECs must abide by additional regulatory requirements. These requirements are set out in BIll 145 and accompanying provincial regulations. A PREC cannot operate the same as a typical corporation however they offer many of the same benefits.
3Can I transfer property and earn upcoming commission inside my PREC?
Yes! There are tax tools to help you easily transition into a PREC. A Section 85 Rollover application allows you to transfer assets on a tax deferral basis. The right plan depends on your circumstances.
4Is a PREC right for me?
It depends! In our experience, a PREC can benefit realtors earning at least $50,000. However, the specific advantages and benefits are dependent on your particular situation.
5Can I use my PREC for other business?
You may use your PREC to carry on other business. However, there only you can operate as a real estate professional under your PREC. Another realtor cannot operate under your PREC.
6Does the PREC allow for income splitting?
Yes. The PREC regulations allow family members (defined broadly to include blended families), being children, parents and spouses, to own non-voting, non-equity shares of the PREC. The PREC can thus allocate its business income to employees (including the controlling Registrant, family members and others) as salary and issue dividends to any shareholder of the PREC.
