Anti-avoidance rules for RRSPs and RRIFs
The anti-avoidance rules provide for a special tax on certain advantages that unduly exploit the tax attributes of an RRSP and RRIF as well as special taxes on prohibited investments and on non-qualified investments
The existing anti-avoidance rules applicable to registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) and registered retirement income funds (RRIFs) have been enhanced to prevent any aggressive tax planning.
The rules impose a tax on non-qualified investments, prohibited investments and advantages provided in relation to an RRSP or RRIF.
