The Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is an investment plan established by the Canadian government that offers tax-deferral and even tax-saving benefits. RRSP accounts can be used for a variety of investment options. We can assist you in opening an RRSP account and tailor an RRSP investment plan to your financial situation and investment objectives.
Amidst the escalating housing prices across various regions of Canada, the federal government announced favorable policies for tax-free savings accounts in the 2022 federal budget. Canadian banks began offering this service starting from April 1st of this year.
This account combines some features of the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and the Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). Deposits within the account are tax-free, and income earned within the account is also tax-free, provided that the funds withdrawn from the account are used for purchasing a home.
The account has a lifetime limit of $40,000, with an annual contribution limit of $8,000, and any unused portion can be carried forward to the following year. This option is available to first-time homebuyers aged 18 to 71 who reside in Canada, except in provinces where the legal age to sign a contract is 19.
