What is a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)?
An RRSP is a type of Defined Contribution Pension Plan (DC Plan) which allows the owner to accumulate assets for retirement income on a tax-deferred basis. An RRSP must conform to the ITA, the ITR and CRA requirements. Some of these rules and regulations are: • The owner can contribute up to 18% of previous year’s earned income, up to a specified dollar maximum limit for the year • The owner is taxed when receiving benefits out of the RRSP.
