In this article I discuss income splitting, or income sprinkling as it is commonly referred to. The rules changed in 2018 on who is eligible to receive split income from a business. Income sprinkling was a huge tax advantage for owners of corporations and professional businesses that is now gone. Tl;dr: You (or your spouse) must be actively involved in the business in order to receive split income at the normal tax rates. If you are not actively involved in the business, the Tax on Split Income (TOSI) rules apply and you will pay the highest tax rate for all income received from the business. Generally, you must work in the business for 20 hours a week on average throughout the year. https://www.cpahorizon.ca/post/_tosi
