The transfer of family businesses to the next generation has long been a contentious tax issue. Owners rightfully expect the same tax benefits when selling their businesses to their children or other relatives as if they had sold to a third-party purchaser. Fiscal policy, meanwhile, aims to ensure that such sales to family are authentic and that business owners don\u2019t use transfers \u201cin form\u201d only to extract corporate surplus in a tax-preferred manner, a practice known as surplus stripping.<\/p>\n

With over 60% of family enterprises expected to change hands in the next decade1<\/sup>, the need to strike a balance between facilitating legitimate intergenerational business transfers and preventing surplus stripping has become a pressing one. Enter the 2023 Federal Budget, which introduced a framework of rules within which genuine intergenerational transfers may occur while discouraging surplus stripping via an artificial transfer.\u00a0The proposed rules also mean that business owners will be limited in how they transition their business to the next generation and when they step away from management\u00a0<\/strong>and control.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Two new possible transfer routes<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new framework applies where\u00a0an individual Vendor sells shares<\/strong>\u00a0of \u201ca qualified small business corporation\u201d (QSBC) or \u201cthe capital stock of a family farm or fishing corporation\u201d (QFFP) (i.e., shares that qualify for the Lifetime Capital Gain Exemption (LCGE)) which they control both legally (>50% of voting shares) and in fact (exert controlling influence),\u00a0to a corporation controlled by one or more of their \u201cChildren\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0(18 years or older).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\u201cChildren\u201d includes grandchildren, nieces and nephews and their children, and spouses or common-law partners of any Children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

To apply the framework and receive the desired tax consequences, the Vendor and Children must file a joint election selecting the desired transfer route and meet certain requirements for the\u00a0transfer of control, management,<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0economic interest<\/strong>\u00a0in the business, as well as the\u00a0retention of control<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0active involvement<\/strong>\u00a0in the business by the Children.<\/p>\n

The proposed rules provide for two possible intergenerational business transfer routes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An\u00a0immediate intergenerational business transfer<\/strong>\u00a0akin to an arm\u2019s length sale. In effect, ownership and control is transferred on sale and management is transitioned over 36 months.<\/li>\n
  2. A\u00a0gradual intergenerational business transfer<\/strong>\u00a0that mimics an estate freeze with redemption over time. The Vendor\u2019s economic interest in the corporation becomes fixed at the time of sale and must be reduced below certain thresholds within 10 years. The Vendor can continue to exert influence over the business post-sale but must fully transition management within 60 months.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n

    The new rules apply starting on January 1, 2024. For those wanting more flexibility in transferring their businesses to the next generation, planning should be completed by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

    Choosing a transfer route<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The choice of transfer route depends on the intentions of the Vendor and the Children. With either route, the Vendor must sell the majority (>50%) of participating equity interests and voting shares of the corporation immediately, and the remainder within 36 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

      \u2022 The Vendor\u2019s fixed economic interest in the corporation is reduced below 30% of the pre-sale value of QSBC shares, or 50% for QFFP shares (\u201cfinal sale time\u201d) within 10 years.<\/p>\n

        What are the planning benefits?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        If all the conditions are met, the Vendor:<\/p>\n

        \u2713 Receives capital gains treatment on the sale, instead of paying higher dividend tax rates.<\/p>\n

        \u2713 Can claim their LCGE on the sale to the extent available.<\/p>\n

        \u2713 Can use the capital gains reserve over 10 years, rather than the usual five years.<\/p>\n

        Know before you buy!<\/strong><\/p>\n

        At least one purchasing Child must remain active in the business throughout the first 36 or 60 months following the sale. Should the Child decide that running a business is not for them, or if the business fails within that period, the Vendor will lose the favourable tax treatment of a genuine intergenerational business transfer. The Child is then jointly and severally liable with the Vendor for any additional tax liability that results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
