Explanation
A mutual fund corporation is a type of mutual fund structure that is organized as a corporation and issues different classes of shares to investors. A mutual fund corporation has the ability to allocate its income and expenses among the different classes of shares, and to distribute any income received by the corporation in the form of either capital gains or Canadian dividends. These types of distributions are taxed at lower rates than interest or foreign income, which may reduce the tax liability of the investors. A mutual fund corporation can also use capital losses to offset capital gains, and carry them forward or back to reduce taxable income in other years.
