Health Spending Account for Edmonton Businesses

Edmonton business owners can significantly reduce their health costs with a Health Spending Account. As a major business hub in Alberta, Edmonton entrepreneurs benefit from using pre-tax corporate dollars for medical expenses.

Why Edmonton Business Owners Choose HSAs

Running a business in Edmonton is expensive enough. Traditional health insurance adds unnecessary costs:

  • High monthly premiums that increase every year
  • Restrictive coverage that doesn't match your needs
  • Complicated claims processes
  • Benefits that expire if unused

With a Frontier Health Spending Account:

  • No premiums - Pay only when you have actual health expenses
  • 100% tax-deductible for your corporation
  • Tax-free reimbursements for you and your family
  • Fast claims - Submit a receipt, get reimbursed in 2-3 days

Tax Savings in Edmonton

Based on Alberta's combined marginal tax rate of 48.0%:

  • $5,000 in expenses saves you approximately $4,615
  • $10,000 in expenses saves you approximately $9,231
