🏢 Hosted by Invest Ottawa
Invest Ottawa is hosting a virtual workshop on corporate taxation and corporate structures on September 17, 2026. This session is designed for entrepreneurs and business owners who want to understand how to structure their companies from a tax perspective. The event is part of Invest Ottawa’s regular programming to support local businesses and startups with essential business knowledge.
Why it’s worth going
For finance and accounting students, this workshop offers direct exposure to practical corporate tax concepts and entity structuring decisions that are central to accounting practice and corporate advisory roles. Understanding how businesses choose and optimize their corporate structures for tax purposes is a core competency for accountants, tax professionals, and financial advisors. The virtual format makes it accessible regardless of schedule constraints, and hearing from practitioners can complement classroom theory with real-world applications.
Going in prepared
Since this is a virtual event, ensure you have a stable internet connection and test your audio and video settings beforehand. Review basic concepts of Canadian corporate taxation and common business structures (sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations) so you can follow along and ask informed questions. Prepare specific questions about areas you’re studying or curious about, such as tax implications of different corporate forms or recent changes to Canadian tax law. Have a notebook ready to take notes on practical insights that may not be covered in textbooks.
