Frequently Asked Questions

How does an RRSP reduce your taxes?
RRSP contributions are deducted from your taxable income. The tax refund you receive equals your contribution multiplied by your marginal tax rate.
What is a marginal tax rate?
Your marginal tax rate is the tax rate on the last dollar you earn. It includes both federal and provincial tax rates and determines the tax savings from RRSP contributions.
When do I get the RRSP tax refund?
You receive the refund when you file your tax return. Contributions made in the first 60 days of the year can be claimed on the previous year's return.
