RRSP

Registered Retirement Savings Plan

When you invest in an RRSP, you can get more than just a tax break and a safer financial future. Gaining familiarity with the advantages of RRSPs can help you make the most of your savings both now and in the future. So, what exactly is RRSP in Canada? Let's find out.

Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)

To save for retirement, you can open a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) in Canada. The money you put into a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) is "tax-advantaged," meaning that you won't have to pay tax on it in the year you put it there. If the money stays in the RRSP, any investment income can grow tax-free until it is taken out. You can get a tax break for the current tax year if you put money into an RRSP. You can deduct the full amount or a portion of your taxable income.

Even if you don't use your RRSP to save for retirement, you can still benefit from having one. One benefit is a reduction in taxable income. When you put money into an RRSP, you can get a tax deduction, which lowers the amount of your taxable income. Second, RRSP earnings are not subject to taxation while they accumulate. As long as the funds stay in the account, no taxes will be taken from capital gains, interest, or dividends. However, you must pay taxes on the amount you remove from your RRSP. Your marginal tax rate will be lower, and your tax bill will be smaller if you wait until you are far into retirement before filing.
