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...
An eligible dividend is paid out of a corporation's general rate income pool (GRIP) and is capped at the amount of GRIP the CCPC has at the end of the taxation year in which the dividend is paid. Generally speaking, GRIP is comprised of the after-tax earnings of the CCPC, excluding any earnings that have been subject to the small business deduction or refundable tax on investment income.
If you're in the top tax bracket, maximize the RRSP. But if you're earning that much, odds are you can also come up with the $5,000 annual TFSA contribution. Both are priorities over the 'leaky bucket' -- non-registered plans that create tax liability on all investment income earned. Young people might favour TFSAs over RRSPs initially. Then, when they start earning more, they could move funds from their TFSA to their RRSP, reducing the tax hit on their higher incomes. For a top-bracket resident of Ontario, a $10,000 RRSP contribution generates a $4,600 tax refund, which can be pumped back into a TFSA. Warren Baldwin, regional vice-president for Toronto-based T.E. Wealth, is 'underwhelmed' by the new TFSA. Overall, "TFSAs seem destined to be over-hyped and under-utilized," Baldwin says....

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.

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...

The facts are that income trusts are not, and never have been, a tax shelter. Like for any trust, there are regulations which mandate the annual distribution of the trust's income to its beneficiaries. Every year the trust unit-owners will receive Form T3 which quantifies taxable income to be duly reported. That income is taxed annually. It is a blatant falsehood to suggest otherwise. There is no subsidy to income trusts by the general tax system. Corporate income is also annually taxed. The mechanism is simply different because the two business structures are not identical. [Rick Cuvelier] dismisses critics of the Tory reversal on taxing income trusts. Yes, trusts should be taxed. However, the Tories campaigned on a promise to not tax trusts. That campaign promise encouraged even more...
