An RRSP is a Canadian government regulated program that encourages
people to save for their retirement years. RRSP have special tax
benefits that defer current income tax and potentially accelerate
the accumulation of savings. They are available to the public
through chartered banks, trust companies, and other selected financial
institutions.
You should consider an RRSP if:
- You want to supplement your retirement income so that you can
maintain your lifestyle after you retire.
- You anticipate fluctuations in your income because of maternity
leave, a return to school, or a career change.
- You want to reduce your income tax this year, or you want to
earn tax sheltered investment income on your savings.
It Pays To Plan For Your Future
At Yovan Financial Solutions we're committed to offering you a
wide range of RRSP products which can be tailored to your retirement
financial needs. Our RRSP specialists have put together this site
to help maximize your savings and assist you in choosing the right
RRSP for your personal goals. Today, more than ever, you must
save wisely in order to ensure a worry-free future for you and
your family. Just about anyone can contribute. If you are employed,
self-employed, receive net rental income, or maintenance and alimony
payments and pay income tax, you can build a potentially larger
retirement income and pay less tax now, by contributing regularly
to a RRSP. In fact, a RRSP could make the difference between "just
getting by" and having the financial resources you need for an
enjoyable, fulfilling retirement.
Tax-deductible contributions and tax-sheltered income are the
two main reasons it pays to invest in a RRSP instead of an unregistered
plan or many other investments.
Every eligible dollar you contribute to a RRSP reduces your taxable
income by one dollar. That means you can cut your tax bill dramatically.
For example, if your marginal tax rate is 40% and you contribute
$2,500 to your RRSP, your taxable income will be reduced by $2,500
- a tax saving of $1,000.
The income earned by your RRSP is tax sheltered for the entire
life of your plan and is automatically reinvested in your plan,
year after year. You don't pay taxes on income earned in an RRSP
(as you must pay on interest and dividend earnings on other savings
or investments) until you withdraw the funds. That's why your
RRSP savings grow so much faster.
