RRSP
Plan for your retirement
With a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), you can watch your savings grow tax-free. You won’t pay tax on the money you contribute until you’re ready to make a withdrawal.
How it works:
- Any Canadian who is employed and files taxes can contribute to an RRSP.
- There is no minimum age to contribute.
- Contribute until December 31 of the year that you turn 71.
- Spousal and individual plans are available.
- Contribute up to a set maximum every year.
- You receive a tax receipt for contributions to reduce you taxable income.
- Income from an RRSP is taxable only when withdrawn.
- Your unused annual contribution rolls over for use in future years.
Choose to invest your money in savings accounts, guaranteed investment certificates (GICs), mutual funds* or other securities such as stocks*, bonds* and ETFs*.
