Tough call. I think its stupid that the money is technically being taxed twice, but on the other hand I like the fact that it can encourage the company to invest that money into other projects instead of paying it out to the shareholders.

But that is just me being an evil capitalist that wants companies to invest their money into building the economy.

On the other hand the shareholders deserve to make money too.

Is there double taxation of dividends in Canada? I know the US has it.
