This is very common for the employers to avoid
expenses by asking their employees to sign
contracts as corporations in Canada. If you are
an IT professional in Canada and your employer
has asked you to incorporate a business and sign
the contract, you must know the tax implications
of these decisions. When a corporation has an
incorporated-employee who performs services on
its behalf, it is called Personal Services
Business (PSB) as per Income Tax Act in
Canada. First, see if your relationship is of
employee or independent contactor with the
business for whom you are providing these
services. IF the relationship is of employment
nature, your corporation will be a PSB. If the
relationship is of independent contractor, you
have an active business income. Now, determining
whether the relationship is employee or
contractor, is a fact based exercise. Simply
signing a contract and saying it is a contractor
is not enough.

A brilliant article written by Maroof H. Sabri
provides a basic understanding about tax
implications of incorporated employees. Earning
a PSB income in Canada is subject to 33 federal
corporate income rate plus provincial rates. In
Ontario, if you have carried on a PSB, the tax
rate will be 44.5. Further, there are very
limited deductions available as opposed to CCPC
or other private corporations in Canada. This
means such contractors end up paying lot more in
Taxes and very little take home income. There
are two exceptions. You should have more than
five full time employees or if the income is
generated through an associated corporation.It
is always recommended to seek the advice a
professional corporate income tax accountant in
Canada in such cases. The instant decisions made
today may have huge tax implications in the
future.
