OTTAWA and SCHAUMBURG, Ill., March 3, 2016 -- The Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA) and the Society of Actuaries (SOA) jointly released research on tax-deferred retirement saving in Canada. The research report provides employees and employers with perspectives on tax deferral arrangements such as pension plans and registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) in a low interest rate environment.
This research report uses the combined effects of taxes and clawbacks to compare tax deferral arrangements with tax-free savings accounts and non-registered investments in Canada. Once income-tested benefits and tax credits are considered, many individuals will have a higher effective marginal tax rate on withdrawals from their tax deferral arrangement during retirement than on contributions made during their working career. The combination of high effective marginal rates for seniors and low interest rates has weakened the traditional advantage of tax deferral arrangements, noted the paper's author, Doug Chandler, FSA, FCIA, Canadian retirement research actuary at the SOA.
The research report looks at other key choices under the Canadian tax system for employers who sponsor retirement savings arrangements. For example, an employer-sponsored tax-deferred arrangement can be designed with contributions by the employer, employees, or a combination of both. These design choices are also influenced by interest rates.
