How Real Estate Agents Can Lower Their Tax Burden

If you’re a real estate agent earning over $100,000 annually and you’re not yet incorporated, you could be missing out on powerful tax-saving strategies.

One of the most effective tools available to incorporated professionals is Corporation-Owned Life Insurance—a strategy that not only helps you reduce your tax burden but also protects your family and builds long-term wealth.

What Is Corporation-Owned Life Insurance?

This strategy involves having your corporation purchase and own a life insurance policy. Here’s how it works:

· The corporation becomes both the owner and beneficiary of the policy.

· Premiums are paid using corporate after-tax dollars, which are taxed at a lower rate than personal income.

· While premiums aren’t tax-deductible, you avoid using higher-taxed personal income.

· Upon death, the insurance proceeds are received tax-free by the corporation.

·?

When structured properly, this approach offers several key benefits:

· Lower Personal Tax Exposure

· Minimize Taxes on Insurance Premiums

· Tax-Free Wealth Transfer through a Capital Dividend Account

· Protect More of Your Wealth for your family or estate

Who Should Consider Incorporation and This Strategy?

This isn’t just for large corporations. It’s ideal for:

· Realtors earning $100K+

· Agents with dependents or estate planning needs

· Brokers building long-term business and wealth strategies
