| May 2020 | Is it time to consider a "refreeze" transaction? Ross Cammalleri, CPA, CA, is a tax partner at Baker Tilly Vaughan | In times of crisis, people can be opportunistic, and this economic turmoil can allow for certain tax planning opportunities. The current economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the valuation of many Canadian businesses. Accordingly, it is wise to revisit any estate freeze transactions that may have been implemented at a time in a prior year when the economy was booming.
