On retirement, you can do controlled slow withdrawal over the years to make sure the personal tax bracket is not high.

The role of mpc is really to help doctors manage their clinic funds. It helps to encourage savings for retirement too indirectly since most of ur monies will be in the mpc.

Of course when u withdraw for personal use, u are still subjected to the tax

Thanks for sharing!

On the other hand singapore’s dividend are not taxable. So the point of companies is really to avoid personal income tax, enjoy lower corporate tax.

in summary canada mpc works as a deferred tax system (you eventually still got to pay ur personal taxes when you withdraw) while sg shell companies works as tax avoidance tool, (benefiting from marginal difference between sg corporate and personal tax, and tax free dividends)
