Other Tax Planning Issues

  • Consider a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) for your children.
  • Review your December income tax installment.
  • Repay outstanding shareholder loans and pay interest on employee loans.
  • Contribute to your spouse’s or common-law partner’s RRSP to the extent of your RRSP deduction limit for 2008. This doubles the amount a couple can withdraw for the Home Buyer’s Plan.

  • Pay reasonable salaries to family members.
  • Convert non-deductible debt to deductible interest.
  • Review your will every five years.
