Many people need a deadline or some sense of urgency to do what they know they need to do. Let's use the March 1 deadline for 2009 RRSP contributions as the cut-off date for you to make some decisions and take some actions toward achieving your financial independence. Even if you have maximized your 2009 RRSP contribution, this is still a great time to plan your strategy for 2010. For example, are you contributing regularly each month in order to have your maximum contribution in place by next December? The Tax Free Savings Account will not provide you with a tax deduction, either for 2009 or 2010, but it will allow your investments to grow without tax on the investment income. This provides the tax sheltering of an RRSP without the punitive taxation when you withdraw the money from the...

The most recent issue of Maclean's should be a wake-up call for Manitobans. In the article, Manitoba Can't Get Any Respect, the magazine positions the "Keystone province" as an outsider in Western Canada, one increasingly disconnected from the real economy. It describes how B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan are co-operating to integrate their transportation links and create the largest barrier-free trade and investment market in Canada. Also the three westernmost provinces occasionally host joint cabinet meetings, among efforts to align their policies and political strategies. AWOL from all of this is Manitoba, although the other provinces have, as a courtesy, sent copies of the paperwork from their discussions to the palace on Broadway. In such adversity lies great opportunity. The good n...

Likely candidates to take advantage of this include business owners and executives, but also many families. You may qualify for these opportunities if one family member (let's call her Mom) is in a higher tax bracket than others, and Mom has more assets (cash, investments, shares) than the others. (It also works for Dad.) The challenge is that the Income Tax Act says that the spouse who has accumulated investment capital must pay the tax on any income earned on that capital. If Mom has the only income (or a much higher income), then the tax authorities view the accumulated capital as "belonging" to Mom for tax purposes. (It doesn't matter if the divorce laws say it's all equal -- that's a different set of rules.) Step 1 is to use spousal RRSPs, where the high-income earner makes the c...

You cannot transfer from RRSP to TFSA, and any RRSP withdrawal remains taxable. You will be able to transfer TFSAs from one institution to another and withdraw from a TFSA without tax. On death, the TFSA remains a TFSA if it is passed to a spouse. Regardless of the beneficiary, there will be no tax on the amount in the TFSA on death, unlike an RRSP. As well, investment income earned in the TFSA is sheltered from tax until the end of the year following the year of death, so the estate should keep it as a TFSA until distributed.
There is a 4.26% tax cost for investment income earned by a private corporation and distributed to a shareholder. By contrast, retaining the after-tax income and not triggering the dividend refund causes a tax prepayment of 5.59% because the personal tax on the dividend is less than the dividend refund received by the corporation.
With child custody and access cases, counsellors or psychologists can help the parents understand any behaviour issues and can also make recommendations as to the custody and access arrangements in the child's best interests. For child or spousal support matters, a financial planner or accountant can be brought in to help with post-separation budgets, tax consequences, investment strategies or determining a reasonable income figure for a farmer or self-employed individual whose income tax returns may not be of much help.
We still see only 31 per cent making a contribution and note that 2007 was a good year," Benjamin Tal said. "It is clear that the 2008 numbers will be much weaker due to risk aversion and lack of income growth. The major differences between the two saving plans are that RRSP contributions are deducted from income but withdrawals, usually in retirement and when incomes are often lower, are taxed, while TFSA contributions aren't deducted and withdrawals, which can be for any purpose, aren't taxed. In both, the investment earnings in the account are sheltered from tax. "But, if one expects retirement income to surpass current income, then TFSA contributions should replace RRSP contributions," he said.
