Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement D is false because if the foreign country has a lower tax rate, it does not automatically result in a tax benefit due to the Canadian tax system's integration of foreign income and the potential application of foreign tax credits, which aim to prevent double taxation but not necessarily to provide a tax advantage when investing in lower-tax jurisdictions.
