Transportation as a Service (TaaS)
• By 2030, 95% of all Passenger Miles will be
by Automated Electric Vehicles (AEVs)
• This will add about $5600 per family in
discretionary spending (10% of income or
$1 trillion)
• There will be minimal production of
Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) or
individual ownership of cars.
• IO cars will be 40% of the fleet, but 5% of
passenger miles
• AEVs will have a lifetime mileage capacity
between 500,000 and 1 million miles
Transportation as a Service (TaaS)
• TaaS will be 4 to 10 times cheaper than
traditional owner driving
• Pre-TaaS companies (Uber and Lyft) drove
500,000 passengers per day in NYC in 2016
• By 2030 passenger cars in the US will drop
from 237 million to 44 million
• 70% fewer cars manufactured annually
• 50% more passenger miles in total at a cost
of $400 billion vs. $1.5 trillion today
Transportation as a Service (TaaS)
• Oil demand would drop to 70 million BPD
from what is predicted by the IEA at 110 million
BPD
• Price of oil could drop to $25 and make 50% or
more of North American Oil uncommercial but
still leave us energy independent
• Keystone and Dakota Access Pipeline would be
stranded
• Energy requirements would drop by 80% and
emissions by 90%
• Huge impact on oil industry, autos/trucks, auto
insurance
• Big geopolitical outcomes (impact on Canada?)
39% Mid East
15% Russia
1% US
5% Canada
Oil Dependency
Cheaper oil
Who needs oil?
60% drop in 4 years (average = $35/barrel)

technology

What will get in the way?
Trust Fund Buddies
Tax Reform 2017
What’s Being Plucked?
• Income splitting of dividends from private corporations
• Increase tax on passive corporate income that could reach 71% when paid
out as dividends
• Pipeline planning that converts dividends to capital gains is prevented
How is the Goose Doing Now?
• Income splitting allowed over age 65 with a spouse
• Otherwise no, unless labour or financial contribution
• Passive rules stay the same except reduction in SBD if passive income over
$50,000/year; more expensive to recover RDTOH in some cases
• Integrated tax on passive income can be as high as 54.4% in BC
Tax Reform 2018
Before Tax Reform
• Dividend compensation if SBD
• Income split using dividends and trust
• Accumulate passive assets in CCPC
and recover RDTOH when dividends
paid
• SBD not impacted by passive assets
After Tax Reform
• Salary RRSP/IPP better
• Over 65 on with spouse otherwise
labour or capital
• CCPC still better but try and minimize
taxable passive income
• Start losing SBD at $50,000 of passive
income. 100% gone at $150,000. Does
it make much difference?

  • 66. Tax Reform 2017 What’s Being Plucked? • Income splitting of dividends from private corporations • Increase tax on passive corporate income that could reach 71% when paid out as dividends • Pipeline planning that converts dividends to capital gains is prevented How is the Goose Doing Now? • Income splitting allowed over age 65 with a spouse • Otherwise no, unless labour or financial contribution • Passive rules stay the same except reduction in SBD if passive income over $50,000/year; more expensive to recover RDTOH in some cases • Integrated tax on passive income can be as high as 54.4% in BC
  • 67. Tax Reform 2018 Before Tax Reform • Dividend compensation if SBD • Income split using dividends and trust • Accumulate passive assets in CCPC and recover RDTOH when dividends paid • SBD not impacted by passive assets After Tax Reform • Salary RRSP/IPP better • Over 65 on with spouse otherwise labour or capital • CCPC still better but try and minimize taxable passive income • Start losing SBD at $50,000 of passive income. 100% gone at $150,000. Does it make much difference?
