  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

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

    • Registered Pension Plan (RPP)
    • Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF)
    • Life Income Fund (LIF)
    • Locked-in Retirement Income Fund (LRIF)

    • 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.
