Investing for dividends.
Hi guys, does anyone know any entities that pay no corporate tax and instead pass most of the income to the shareholders?
I know about REITs and MLPs. I've also read up on canadian income trusts/royalty trusts but they are going to be converted to regular corporations soon and have to pay tax.
I am mainly trying to build a dividend portfolio and trying to avoid the double taxation situation. I don't want to be taxed twice on the earnings of the company. Seems like REITs and MLPs are my only options.

I think Im in MLPs...stocks like KMP, EEQ in my Roth account. You can look at some CanRoys for a year or so before their taxes blow up.

I have owned GIM in the past. Not sure of their tax status, but the dividends were very good at the time. I bet there are ETFs out there that would fit your needs. Seems like Wall Street has figured out any product for any buyer type now.

Rather just pick the stocks myself than pay some fund manager to do it for me. |

Try double tax free (with the Feds and your state) municipal bonds.

Yield is good but probably unsustainable. I've seen it in the news that they are considering cutting the dividend. |

Yea but those are dollar based. You have to factor in inflation for those bonds. You might be getting tax free but not inflation free. At least with tangible assets like real estate it generally adjusts for inflation.
The stocks I have been looking at are:
