Good to Know

Why Tax Planning Matters

RRSP contributions made within the first 60 days of a calendar year can still be deducted on the prior year’s tax return. Incorporated business owners can choose how to pay themselves through salary, dividends, or a mix of both, and that choice affects both personal and corporate tax. Tax planning decisions, such as timing a large expense or an RRSP contribution, generally need to happen before the calendar year ends to affect that year’s return.

Common Questions About Tax Planning

Can I still deduct an RRSP contribution made in January or February?

Yes. Contributions made within the first 60 days of the calendar year can be deducted on the prior year's tax return.

Should I pay myself salary or dividends from my corporation?

It depends on your personal and corporate tax situation. Both options are available and the right mix is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

When should tax planning happen?

Most planning decisions, such as timing an RRSP contribution or a business expense, need to be made before the calendar year ends to affect that year's return.
