Why can’t the corporation pay an eligible or capital dividend?
Where to find it: CCPC PROFILE / CCPC REVENUES
Check both available cash and the relevant tax pool. An eligible-dividend request depends on the GRIP balance; a capital-dividend request depends on CDA. A large corporate investment balance does not necessarily mean either pool has enough room.
Review the opening balances supplied before TIME MACHINE and the corporate year report showing how the pools changed. Investment appreciation that has not been realized is different from a realized gain contributing to the modelled CDA.
In CCPC PROFILE, also review shareholder permissions and any CDA payout threshold and fee. These can affect the timing or amount of a distribution. Then check the income entry’s type, recipient and dates.
Do not fix the warning by entering an unsupported pool balance. Correct an input error or compare a different payment instruction, then inspect the corporate and personal cash flows together.
