The Income Tax Act has an effect on many personal and investment decisions. It affects the choice of one’s investments through differential tax rates for income, dividends, and capital gains. It affects retirement planning through tax-favored RRSPs and pension plans. It also provides opportunities for estate planning through the tax-free pass-through of insurance proceeds. Separation and divorce are affected through the treatment of property division and support payments. As a result, investment advisors should have a good working knowledge of the federal tax regime and how it affects you.
