    Welcome to TFSA.

    There are ways to reduce tax legally. What legal entity do you trade in? Is your wife a member if its a cc for example? By splitting your income, you may reduce your liability. The tax gurus here will be able to give you better information.
    Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...
