It is very common to be told or you may have heard from someone that for tax purposes you should incorporate your business. This is simply may not be true for each and every situation, in fact, in some cases, the opposite can be true.
As a rule, a corporation is considered to be a separate legal entity from yourself, and it offers the benefits of protecting yourself as an individual from any liabilities arising from the activities of your company. As a result of becoming a limited liability corporation, you are no longer personally responsible for business debts of the corporation.
However there are some exceptions to this rule, such as; if your corporation owes HST or payroll source deductions, or if you signed any personal guarantees on behalf of the corporation, you will still be liable personally for these debts.
Another advantage to incorporating your business is that the business pays a very low tax rate of only 15%, compared to a much higher personal tax rates.
