14) In 2006, the Canadian government effectively neutralized the tax advantages that had existed for most
income trusts, relative to firms set up as corporations. The advantages that existed for income trusts
before these changes were that:
A) income trusts avoided double taxation in that the Canada Revenue Agency did not collect corporate
taxes but rather collected only personal taxes from income trust unit holders.
B) income trusts effectively afforded unlimited liability to unitholders while corporate shareholders could
face unlimited liability.
C) while double taxation existed for both income trusts and corporations, the net tax paid by income trust
unit holders was in most cases less than that paid by corporate shareholders.
D) the changes introduced in 2006 eliminated double taxation for corporations, thereby making the
taxation of income trusts and corporations substantially equivalent.
Answer: A
Explanation: The 2006 changes imposed new taxes on most income trusts to mirror the total tax revenue
received from corporations. As a result, with no material tax advantage, these firms reverted from income
trusts back to a corporate structure. The exception was Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT), which are
exempted from the changes imposed on all other trusts.

16) You own 100 shares of a publicly traded Canadian Corporation. The corporation earns $5.00 per share
before taxes. Once the corporation has paid any corporate taxes that are due, it will distribute the rest of
its earnings to its shareholders in the form of a dividend. If the corporate tax rate is 40% and your

you after all taxes have been paid?
