The Corporate Income Tax Optimizer (CITO) is part of a dynamic planning approach offered by Desjardins Insurance. This concept is designed to help owners of incorporated businesses to assess the impact of passive investment income rules on their business and highlight the following benefits of taking out corporate-owned life and critical illness insurance:
- Retained earnings are reallocated to pay insurance premiums, which reduces the tax impact of passive investment income rules
- Death and critical illness benefits are non-taxable
- This approach can help to increase liquidity for future operations and provide potential retirement income for a shareholder or key employee of the business
It helps improve how a business manages risk in the event of death, critical illness or retirement of a shareholder or key employee.
