@calmmoneycoach: I get more pushback on this than anything I post. So here’s the math. Your corp pays 12.2%. You pay 53.53%. That’s the widest possible gap, the most favorable scenario for keeping money in the corp. The RRSP still wins. By about $82,000 over 30 years. Three reasons: → 1.07% annual tax drag inside the corp (zero in the RRSP) → The RRSP deduction shelters the full pre-tax dollar. The corp loses 12.2% before investing. → Everything in the corp comes out at 47.74%. RRSP withdrawal rate in retirement is lower. This does NOT mean the corp is bad. After you max your RRSP and TFSA, investing in the corp is the right move. Fill your shelters first. Research from PWL Capital (7M+ outcomes): dividends only was the worst strategy tested. Ontario top bracket. 7% equity return. 30 years. Your situation will differ. Get a comprehensive plan.

Keep in mind any corporate passive income generated can also affect your small business 12% tax return and start to reduce that. In the alternative, dying with a large RRSP would mean it goes onto your income in your year of death which means around 50% for a large sum. If you held your corporate shares in a family trust, you could look to have your shares allocated to your children to defer taxes to them as opposed to you in death.

More of this type of content is needed. Too many people think RRSPs are some sort of scam due to being fully taxable on withdrawal.

The only sane one in the room :
let's say I have a corporation with no current business but liquid assets in excess of a million dollars. can that corporation take my money and invest it and get the same deductions instead of me personally investing it?

If I take out let’s say 20k from my corp and put it all into my personal rrsp will I have to pay any taxes in the 20k personally? Or will my corp have to?

That tax break isn’t necessarily a free gain. There are other risks to the RRSP that occur on a regular basis.

Not if you use Corp class mutual funds within the Corp structure - minimal distribution and mostly capital gain which can then be paid out through CDA..

Hi there, love the content. One thing I don’t follow is why would everything come out of your corp at almost 48%? If the majority is capital gains you would get a large CDA credit. And why use the highest non eligible dividend rate but only 40% if you had RRSP income. I also see clients run into big issues down the road with large RRSP when it comes to losing OAS, losing a partner and income splitting provisions, taxes on their estate. I get this in theory but it doesn’t always play out this straight forward. Corps give you a lot of flexibly in retirement and often better options for estate planning.
