Today on The Wealth Exchange, Mark interviews two fantastic guests: Nicola Wealth Management’s CEO and Chairman John Nicola, and Dino Infanti — partner at KPMG.   John has been a veteran of the financial services industry since 1974 with areas of expertise in investment management, estate and financial planning, as well as business planning. Dino has over 15 years of experience and is very well-known for his expertise on tax technical work in estate and succession planning, corporate restructuring, and tax mitigation.    This episode, the three of them discuss corporate tax reform, Canadian tax proposals, the backlash to the legislative proposals relating to income taxes, and what the Canadian government is currently doing for business owners compared to the United States. Dino and John also give their insights and opinions on the current tax system and rules, which rules they see impacting business owners and families the most going forward, and their hopes for what a future tax reform could possibly look like.
