Virtually unknown for most financial advisors in Canada, the rich array of tax minimization tools offered by pension laws continues to elude most. The multitude of additional tax deductions and tax strategies that come with registered pension plans are not well understood and therefore Canadian taxpayers end up paying more than their fair share of taxes every year. The fact that permanent life insurance strategies can be coupled with a pension plan is also problematic because many insurance sales could be part of a broader retirement planning strategy. This course reviews the deductions and strategies that make use of pension legislation for the benefit of small and medium size business owners and their families.
