Explanation of "Cost Plus"
MISSION STATEMENT

We will strive to provide for you, our clients and friends, cost efficient solutions for today's changing markets, by working side by side with our "Cost Plus" Benefit Plan to provide the best level of customer service available.
WHAT IS COST PLUS AND HOW DOES IT FIT INTO A GROUP BENEFIT PLAN?

"Cost Plus" is a means of providing tax-free benefits to an employer or an employee if the situation arises. The company incurs an eligible medical expense (under Revenue Canada Guidelines).
FOR EXAMPLE:
A Business Owner purchases glasses for himself and his family at a cost of $1000 out of his own pocket (i.e. after tax dollars). Depending on his personal marginal tax rate, (at 40%) he would have had to make approximately $1675 in gross earnings to buy the glasses.

If the Business Owner wanted to pay for the glasses through his company, he could use "Cost Plus" to make it an eligible deduction for the company.
 
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS:
Cost of glasses
$ 1,000.00
Administration fee of 8%
80.00
Plus GST on admin. fee
5.60
Paid to: Cost Efficient Benefit Plan Ltd.
$ 1,085.60
Cost Efficient Benefit Plan Ltd. would then pay the Business Owner a personal cheque of $1000 for the glasses he purchased and also issue a receipt for $1085.60 to the company, that is fully deductible.

The advantage for the Business Owner is, he had a medical expense taken care of, excluding the high cost of personal income Tax from Revenue Canada. His company has taken the advantage of this total amount paid to become an eligible business deduction. Win/Win Situation.
This program is also eligible for any employee.
