Restaurant servers, hairdressers, valets, taxi drivers, and others who earn tips may not have all of their income recorded by their employers, which means that their T4 slips may not include all of their income.
The Income Tax Act is clear about income from tips: tips are taxable and it is your responsibility to report any that you receive.

Companies may claim a tax deduction for unpaid management fees or salary at year-end, provided that the fees are paid to the manager or shareholder within 179 days of the year-end date.
If a corporation’s year-end falls within 179 days of the calendar year, a bonus payable may provide for a tax deferral.
For example, if a company has a corporate year-end of Dec 31, 2012 and a profit of $100,000, the shareholders can issue a management bonus of $100,000 to reduce corporate taxable income to zero
