How Are Annuities Taxed?
Tax treatment of life and term annuities depends on source of premium (registered/non-registered), and (for non-registered annuities), on whether the contract meets requirements for prescribed taxation.
1. Registered Annuities
Annuities purchased with funds from a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP), spousal RRSP, registered retirement income fund (RRIF), spousal RRIF, deferred profit sharing plan (DPSP), locked-in plan or pension plan are considered registered annuities. Every dollar paid to the client is taxable as income in the year it is received.
2. Non Registered Annuities
The taxation of non-registered annuities depends on whether the requirements for qualification as a prescribed annuity contract are met. It’s important to note the income payment doesn’t change between prescribed and accrual taxation; just the amount of income that’s taxable each year.
