RRSP season is upon us<\/h2>\n

A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is an investment that is registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)<\/u><\/a> which allows for deferring of taxes owed on the money contributed and any investment income earned, until future years when the funds are withdrawn.<\/p>\n

RRSP Contributions<\/h2>\n

The money you contribute to an RRSP now allows you to reduce the income you pay tax on for the previous taxation year. 2 months into the next calendar year is the usual deadline to invest into RRSPs for the previous taxation year. That means January and February are the perfect time to invest in an RRSP for the previous tax year.n n\u201cWait, did you mean now as in now now, or as in now\u2026 eh I\u2019ll get to it soon now?\u201d nnThe old adage is never more relevant \u2013 that being: the best time to invest was 50 years ago\u2026 the second best time to invest is right now<\/strong>! nnThe 2022 limit is $29,210 or 18% of your earned income reported on your 2021 tax return (whichever is less), minus any employer-sponsored pension plan contribution, plus any unused contribution room from previous years. Check your most recent Notice of Assessment (NOA) from CRA to find out your limit.<\/p>\n

Age Limits<\/h2>\n

There is no minimum contribution age, but you must have earned income reported to CRA. At Worby Wealth Management we\u2019ll never promote child labour, regardless my children seem to think spending time on Roblox counts as performing a household chore. n nThe sooner you start contributing to your RRSP, the better, in order to take advantage of the power of compounding. Contributions can be made up until the year you turn 71 upon which time they must be converted to a RRIF<\/u><\/a> or you must purchase an Annuity<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Investment Choices<\/h2>\n

A variety of investments can be held in an RRSP, including cash, GICs, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs and individual stocks. However, before choosing your investment approach it\u2019s always best to consider Retirement<\/u><\/a>, Tax<\/u><\/a>, and possibly even Estate<\/u><\/a> issues.<\/p>\n
