  3. Capital Dividend Account • Why we have it • Based upon the principle of integration • Income earned by a private corporation and distributed as a dividend to its shareholders is “supposedly” subject to the same amount of tax as if the shareholder earned the funds directly • CDA is a mechanism to accomplish this

  4. Capital Dividend Account • The purpose of the CDA is to keep track of certain amounts received by the corporation that if received by the shareholder directly would have been free of tax • Non-taxable portion of capital gains • portion of life insurance proceeds payable at death • These receipts can be passed through to the shareholder on a tax-free basis

  5. CDA - Did you Know • CDA only available to private corporations, public companies do not have CDA • CDA credit is equal to death benefit less the ACB of the policy • ACB is generally equal to (issued after Dec 1/82) premiums paid for the policy, less NCPI (net cost of pure insurance)
