Annuity Terminology

Who Sells Annuities in Levis?

Life insurance companies do not sell annuities direct to the consumer. A life insurance agent or a independent life insurance broker are used to buy annuities.

Ideally it's in the annuitant's best interest to use an independent life insurance agent who specializes in annuities. An independent annuity broker will provide quotes from all the life insurance companies which you can then compare and choose the company with the best income.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a life annuity?

A life annuity turns your retirement savings into a competitive and secure retirement income, without putting your money at risk. You can receive guaranteed payments that will never decrease and will last a lifetime.

Annuities are ideal for seniors who:

1. Need their income to last a lifetime, for themselves, their spouse or both lives
2. Don’t want to take risks with market volatility
3. Want the guaranteed monthly income to cover basic living expenses through retirement
4. Are looking for tax-efficient income.

Will you benefit from an Insured Annuity?

Yes, if:

1. You are insurable.
2. You want to avoid high-risk investments.
3. You wish to generate additional cash flow
4. from non-registered liquid assets.
5. You want to pass on an estate to your heirs.
6. You wish to maintain your cash flow but
7. increase the estate you pass on to your heirs.
8. You are not already claiming the $1,000 pension income

How many types of annuities are in Canada?

There are 3 types of annuities in Canada:

1. Single Life annuity – provides a series of income payments for your life. You cannot outlive your payments.
2. Joint life annuity – provides a series of income payments for as long as you or your spouse live.
3. Term certain annuity – provides a series of guaranteed income payments for a chosen period.

You can purchase an annuity with registered or non-registered investments:

1. Registered funds
• Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)
• Registered Pension Plan (RPP)
• Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF)
• Life Income Fund (LIF)
• Locked-in Retirement Income Fund (LRIF)
• Deferred Profit Share Plan (DPSP)
• Locked-in RRSP/ Locked-in Retirement Account (LIRA)
• Restricted locked-in savings plan (RLSP)
2. Non-registered funds
• Savings
• Investments

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.
