Managing Your Money
- It costs when you miss the RRSP deadline It’s a fact proven time and again by many thousands of Canadians: Contributing to investments held within a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is often the best way to save for retirement. It is also an indisputable fact that missing the deadline for making your maximum 2015 contribution can be costly. Here’s why: • If you are in a high income bracket this year but will have a lower marginal tax rate in a future year, your tax benefit from that future RRSP contribution will also be lower. • The additional tax refund you didn’t get because you didn’t contribute this year is not available to make investments or pay down nondeductible debt. • The government does not allow you to make RRSP contributions after the end of the year that you turn age 71. So, if you (or your spouse) are turning 71 in 2016, you should consider making an RRSP contribution by December 31, 2016, or you’ll lose that tax-saving opportunity. • If you are making a contribution to a spousal RRSP, do it before December 31 each year to reduce the time before it can be withdrawn. A contribution to a spousal RRSP must stay in the RRSP for three calendar years before it is withdrawn, or the
withdrawal will be “attributed” back to the contributor. • If you are claiming a spousal RRSP deduction for a deceased spouse or common law partner, the contribution to the spousal RRSP must be made in the year of death or during the first sixty days after the end of that year or the opportunity for this deduction will be lost. • If you are required to make a loan repayment under the Home Buyers Plan or Lifelong Learning Plan, missing your contribution will result in a taxable income inclusion for that year. The deadline for making RRSP contributions for the 2015 tax year is February 29, 2016. Don’t miss it and don’t miss out on other tax-saving, income-building opportunities – talk to your professional advisor soon. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc. (in Québec – a Financial Services Firm), and Investors Group Securities Inc.

Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan Make It Easier for Parents of Newborns to Apply for Benefits
eHealth Saskatchewan (eHealth) has partnered with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to make it easier for parents to apply for federal and provincial benefits for their newborn children. Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development and Saskatchewan Health Minister Dustin Duncan, today announced the Bundled Birth Service which will give Saskatchewan parents the option to apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) and Canada child benefits for their newborn at the same time that they register their child’s birth. “It’s an important time for parents, when a baby is born,” said Duclos. “Through our collaboration with the Province of Saskatchewan, we are simplifying processes to allow parents to spend more quality time with their newborn.” “The Government of Canada is committed to providing faster service that supports and assists Canadians,” said Minister of National Revenue Diane Lebouthillier. “That includes helping them obtain the benefits to which they are entitled. The Canada Revenue Agency is actively partnering with federal and provincial departments to make it simple and easy for families across Canada to access Canada child benefits at a time when life can be particularly demanding.” “Welcoming a newborn into the world can be an exciting and very busy time for parents,” Duncan said. “Our government is committed to supporting new parents and this new birth bundling package will make it quicker and easier for them to access government services related to the birth of their child.” “We understand that new parents have their hands and arms full when they welcome a new addition into their family and don’t have a lot of extra time to be filling out paperwork,” eHealth Saskatchewan CEO Susan Antosh said. “Giving parents access to four optional government services through one comprehensive form will mean more free time to spend with their loved ones.” After the birth of a baby, parents will receive an improved and more user-friendly Registration of Live Birth form, which makes it easier for parents to register the birth of their child and also apply for related government services, including: Social Insurance Number through ESDC; Canada Child Benefits (CCB) through CRA; Saskatchewan Health Card, through eHealth; and Saskatchewan Birth Certificate through eHealth. Quick Facts: The Registration of Live Birth form is available in health care facilities throughout Saskatchewan. With their child’s SIN, parents can access various Government of Canada programs and benefits including the Canada Learning Bond and the Canada Education Savings Grant. Applying early for CCB ensures that parents receive the credit and benefit payments to which they are entitled, on time and in the right amount. In addition to registering births, eHealth is responsible for providing health services cards and registering deaths, marriages and changes of name that occur in the province. The Bundled Birth Service is available for parents living in any of the provinces.
Indexation will save Saskatchewan Taxpayers $8.1 million in 2016
All Saskatchewan income tax brackets and tax credit amounts will go up 1.3 per cent in 2016, matching the national rate of inflation. “Indexation is part of our government’s ongoing commitment to fairness and competitiveness in taxation,” Finance Minister Kevin Doherty said. “This annual measure helps protect Saskatchewan people from ‘bracket creep’ and keeps more money in their pockets throughout the year.” Indexation will save Saskatchewan people an estimated $8.1 million in 2016, and is part of an array of measures aimed at keeping taxes low. Individual taxpayers now pay no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $19,220 of income while a family of four pays no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $49,800 of income—the highest tax-free income threshold for a
family of four in Canada. A family of four with $50,000 annual income, and deducting $3,000 in child care expenses, has now seen their provincial income tax cut by 100 per cent since 2008—from about $2,300 to zero provincial income tax in 2016. “Our government’s various reductions to personal income taxes since 2008 will have saved Saskatchewan people more than $490 million by the end of 2016,” Doherty said. “Since 2008, about 112,000 low-income Saskatchewan residents have been removed from the tax rolls entirely, and a family of four with $50,000 income will have saved more than $21,000 by the end of 2016.” Measures to reduce personal income taxes in Saskatchewan since 2008 include: Increasing personal, spousal, and child exemption amounts and introducing
a new Low Income Tax Credit in 2008; Raising personal, spousal, and child exemption amounts again in 2011; and Introducing a new First-Time Homebuyers’ Tax Credit in 2012 as well as expanding the Active Families Benefit to include all children age 17 and under (previously, it covered ages 6 to 14). When income tax savings are combined with new tax reduction programs introduced since 2008 (including the refundable Low-Income Tax Credit and the Active Families Benefit), a single person with $25,000 annual income will benefit from $913 in lower provincial tax in 2016 than in 2008. A family of four with $50,000 combined income will see tax savings of $2,977; and a family of four with $75,000 combined income will see tax savings of $2,709, when comparing 2016 to 2008.
