Dividends are a great tax- strategy, but capital gains are tax- deferrable
There are 3 main types of 'income' possible from an investment in Canada:
1) Interest -- taxed at your highest marginal rate.
2) Canadian Dividends -- Taxed at a very low rate, in fact, almost tax-free until your income hits $60,000/year or more.
3) Capital gains -- taxed at one half the highest marginal rate, but deferrable.
