The bigger bang RRSP strategy
Written by Corinne CormierThe bigger bang RRSP strategy! Do you plan to commit the amount of funds to your RRSP that you can afford now and promise yourself that you’ll invest the tax refund when you receive it? This is a good plan, but then you can’t claim the refund until your 2013 tax return. This strategy allows you to put that refund right into your RRSP for 2012! It works by acquiring an RRSP loan in the amount of your estimated tax refund in the first 60 days of the calendar year and then using the tax refund to pay off the loan when it is received. This results in a larger RRSP contribution while allowing you to claim a deduction of your refund in the current year, with very little cost.
Read the following for the complete details on this strategy and for the formula to calculate the amount of loan you can obtain, so that when you receive your tax refund you can pay off the loan completely.Written on Friday, 15 February 2013 11:15 -
