| The small business deduction has been the focus of much attention recently, with perceived abuse of the available deferral provided to corporations. Of particular concern are corporate and partnership structures that work around the existing partnership and association rules to multiply their small business deductions. In response, the 2016 Federal Budget has taken steps to close these gaps in the legislation and limit the use of the small business deduction to its original intention. |

While Tax Alert may suggest general planning ideas, we recommend professional advice always be sought before taking specific planning steps. |
