| Good
tax planning foundation of financial decision-making |
|
|
Tax planning is very complicated and can be incredibly intimidating.
Yet, understanding taxes is the foundation to any financial
decisions you make. Good investment planning might help you
make better rates of return -- say up to five per cent over
time. Good tax planning, on the other hand, can help you to
earn benefits in the range of 10 to 40 per cent. If you want
to plan for retirement, build more wealth, pay down your debts
or improve your investment portfolio, the root of success starts
by understanding the rules of the tax game.

| Buying
a motorized "toy" or a scooter |
|
|
Just over 4 years ago, one of my articles referred to the “Changing
World” and the arrival of motorized toys. In particular,
I cited a Ninja Kawasaki motorized toy that was powered by a
rechargeable electric motor and owned by my grandson. This “toy”
would develop a speed of 9 km. This motorized vehicle does not
fall within the definition of any motorized vehicle in a habitational
policy and should an accident occur involving bodily injury
or property damage, there would be no coverage. Nothing has
changed! The same applies today but the problem has increased.

...That you're convinced he would have had a life insurance
policy, but you can't find it. All that you've found is an old
policy from a company you think is defunct, and one that seems
out of date - what's can you do next?
The best place to start is with the issuer, if still around.
The Canadian Life & Health Insurance Association
offers a policy search service for people who believe
a relative or associate has died with an outstanding policy
on his/her life. This service provides useful guidelines and
hints to locate such lost, damaged or seemingly outdated insurance
policies. As you'll read, you'll also recognize the measures
you need to adopt, if your estate is to be settled in a timely
manner (by securing important documents and noting their location
in your estate planning process).

Owners Report the Challenges of Succession Planning |

The entrepreneurial streak runs deep in this country. It is
amazing how many people say they would love to run their own
business, despite the legislation and regulations imposed by
the government.
And each year more and more people take on the challenge of
running their own business. Why do they do it? Generating profits
is one reason, but that is not the whole picture. It also has
a great deal to do with the autonomy involved. However, as time
moves on, how do you plan to pass on your efforts to someone
else?
