Short Description:
Most Canadians think about tax once a year, in February, with a laptop and a cold cup of tea. Business owners think about it all year, with a team beside them. This Canadian personal-finance guide follows two ordinary households, an employee and an incorporated owner, through the same tax system and shows where their tools differ, where they overlap, and which habits any reader can borrow. Clear, practical, and refreshingly honest, it turns tax planning into a calendar you can actually keep.

Book Details:
Two kitchen tables sit on the same street, on the same February evening. At one, an employee closes her laptop on a tax year mostly decided for her months ago. At the other, a business owner reviews next year’s equipment purchases with his operations manager, because the timing affects what he owes. Neither is doing anything wrong. Only one of them still has moves left to make. How Wealthy People Think About Tax follows Meera and Owen, two composite Canadians built from years of real planning conversations, to show what separates an employee’s tax year from a business owner’s. It isn’t a secret loophole. It’s timing, structure, and the habit of thinking about tax more than once a year.
This book walks through the tools every employee already has but rarely uses fully, the accountant, lawyer, and planner team most business owners build one relationship at a time, and the strategies, from income splitting to the lifetime capital gains exemption, that only work with real planning behind them. It is not a book about paying less than you legally owe. It’s about not paying more than you have to, simply because nobody ever showed you the calendar the wealthy use. Grounded in 2026 federal figures and written in plain language for readers on either side of that gap, this is a guide for anyone who has ever felt like tax season happens to them instead of with them. Start with the calendar. Everything else follows.
About the author
Meet Daniel Worth
Daniel Worth grew up in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where his father ran a small hardware store and his grandmother kept the family's receipts in a shoebox. He studied commerce at Memorial University of Newfoundland, earned his CPA designation, and spent fifteen years advising owner-managed businesses before settling in Guelph, Ontario. Writing began as a notebook habit in high school and became a calling when clients kept asking the same question: why didn't anyone explain this sooner? His first manuscript was rejected twice and rewritten three times, because he had to learn to explain tax the way he would at a kitchen table, not in a boardroom.
For Daniel, writing is a form of generosity. He wants readers to close his books feeling capable rather than overwhelmed, and to see that good planning is a habit anyone can build. His ideas come from client conversations, and his research starts with primary sources, from CRA publications to federal budgets, before he trusts any summary. Away from the desk, he reads Peter Drucker and Alice Munro, walks the Speed River trail each morning, and bakes sourdough with mixed results. He writes before dawn, and his guiding philosophy is simple: start with the calendar.
