How much you withdraw from your investments

It is important to determine the amount of income you will be taxed on once you retire. You can decide your taxable income as this can be very different from the cash you receive. Income is taxable and cash flow may or may not be taxable.

How much you withdraw from your RRSP vs. TFSA vs. Non-Registered

You can have a lower taxable income by having the right mix of fully taxable, low tax and tax-free incomes.

How tax-efficient your investments are while considering capital gains vs. interest income

If you have non-registered investments, the type of investment affects your ability to stay in a low tax bracket. You can receive income from your non-registered investments as interest, dividends, capital gains, or deferred capital gains, depending on how you invest.

When to start your RRIF, work pension and government pensions (CPP, QPP and OAS)

For higher-income seniors, their Old Age Security (OAS) is clawed back at 15% of their income from $75,000-$121,000. Therefore, the timing of investment withdrawals is key to cash flow planning.
