Topics will include:
• Tax implications of income being subject to TOSI • What is TOSI and why does it exist? • Background & history o Kiddie Tax – 1999 to 2017 o TOSI – since 2018 • Detailed review of the expanded TOSI rules • Application of the expanded TOSI rules o Examples • Practical considerations
