  • Natural resource investors know Canada to host some of the most prospective gold, potash, uranium and iron ore projects in the world, but many may be missing out by not knowing about the Canadian government's flow-through shares program.

The article from MSN Money discusses how Canadian investors can leverage flow-through shares to gain tax advantages. Flow-through shares are a type of investment where a company can pass on certain tax deductions to investors, primarily related to exploration and development expenses in sectors like mining, oil, gas, and renewable energy. These shares allow investors to claim deductions for expenses that the issuing company incurs, effectively reducing their taxable income. The key benefits include immediate tax deductions, potential for capital gains, and support for Canadian resource exploration. However, the article also warns of the risks involved, such as the speculative nature of the investments, potential for loss, and the complexity of tax implications which might require professional advice. It emphasizes that while flow-through shares can offer significant tax benefits, they are not suitable for all investors due to their high risk and the need for a thorough understanding of the associated tax rules.
