Canadian Professions That Can Incorporate

There are a ton of benefits to incorporate as a business profession but unfortunately only a few professions qualify for it. Typically only professions that are governed by a professional governing association can be lawfully incorporated.

There are some limitations and restrictions when it comes to professional corporations and your accountant can help guide you through them. The benefits greatly outweigh the limits though. A primary reason to incorporate has to do with taxes. Professional corporations receive lower tax rates and income tax deferrals. Personal taxes are also positively impacted when you incorporate.
