Step chart showing how the federal small business deduction limit drops to zero as passive investment income rises from $50,000 to $150,000.

This week's energy rally, with Canadian Natural, Suncor, and Cenovus all posting strong single-session gains, adds directly to a CCPC's adjusted aggregate investment income. That income does not affect this year's tax bill; it determines how much of next year's small business deduction survives, since the AAII used in the calculation is measured with a one-year lag. The window to manage that number closes December 31.
