Common types of qualified investments for a trust governed by an RRSP include:
Home buyers’ plan (HBP) is a government program which allows you to borrow funds from your registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) tax free to buy or build your home.
You can cancel your registration within 60 days without paying any premiums. After 60 days, you can cancel it any time if you don’t make any claim. But the cancellation will be effective at the end of the calendar year, so you have to pay EI premiums for the entire calendar year.
A terminal occurs if, at the end of a fiscal year, when all assets in a class have been disposed of but a undepreciated Capital Cost (UCC) balance still remains in the pool.
Unused RRSP deduction room at the end of the year generally means your RRSP deduction limit for the year minus the amount you deducted for RRSP and SPP contributions for that year.
Retiring allowance, also called severance pay, is an amount you receive on or after retirement from an office or employment in recognition of long service.
Earned income is used to calculate your RRSP deduction limit. It generally includes: employment earnings net business income net rental income taxable support (alimony) payments received, disability benefits received from Canada Pension Plan (CPP) or Quebec Pension Plan (QPP). The above income increases your RRSP deduction limit.
