About Life Annuities
You make a lump-sum payment to an insurance company, and in return they guarantee regular income payments for life or a specified period. The amount you receive depends on factors like your age, the amount invested, current interest rates, and the type of annuity chosen.
Prescribed annuities spread the taxable portion of income evenly over the payment period, providing consistent tax treatment. Non-prescribed annuities have higher taxable amounts in early years and lower amounts later. The right choice depends on your tax situation and financial goals.
Life annuities can be an excellent complement to other retirement income sources like CPP, OAS, and registered accounts. They provide the certainty of a pension-like income stream, reducing the risk of outliving your retirement savings. We can help you determine the right allocation.
Yes. You can use registered funds (RRSP, RRIF) to purchase a registered annuity. The payments will be fully taxable as income, similar to RRIF withdrawals. Non-registered funds can also be used, with more favourable tax treatment on the income portion.
