Spousal RSPs<br />

What is a Spousal RSPs?<br />

Spousal RSPs are a means of income splitting for couples. They<br />

can help defer taxes right away, and reduce taxes in retirement. If<br />

one spouse has a higher income now, you should consider taking<br />

advantage of a Spousal RSP.<br />

What is income-splitting?<br />

Income-splitting is a way to reduce a family’s overall tax bill by<br />

shifting the income from a higher income earner to a lower<br />

income earner so that the same amount of income is taxed at<br />

a lower rate if the lower income earner’s income is low enough.<br />

How to equalize income in retirement<br />

Spousal RSPs allow a couple to create a retirement fund for<br />

both partners. A taxpayer may choose to contribute to their<br />

own RSP or to an RSP in their spouse’s name while claiming the<br />

contribution as a deduction on their tax return. The benefi t to<br />

the contributor is the tax deduction. In the long term the overall<br />

family tax bill will be reduced as income will be available for<br />

withdrawal by each spouse during retirement.<br />

A spousal RSP is also a way to defer taxes if you are no longer<br />

able to contribute to a personal RSP due to your age. As long<br />

as your spouse is 71 or younger, you can contribute to their<br />

Spousal RSP and still claim the tax deduction.<br />
