Both RRSPs and Registered Pension plans offer tax advantages:
Contributions made to a pension plan or RRSP are tax deductible.
Employer contributions do not result in additional payroll taxes since they are not included in the calculation to determine contributions to other programs, such as employment insurance or CPP/QPP.
Employee contributions can trigger an immediate tax deduction at source each pay period.
Investment income generated by the invested contributions are tax exempt inside the plan.
The benefits accumulated in a plan cannot generally be seized by creditors.
With either plan, the implementation should only occur when your business enjoys a strong and stable cash flow, as this is a serious long-term commitment.
Group RRSP
For smaller employers, a well-structured Group RRSP may be a more suitable and flexible solution. A Group RRSP is by far the first choice for many small business owners, as it is not subject to pension legislation, and is easier to modify, suspend or wind down should unforeseen cash flow problems occur.
Group Pension Plan
If you, as a business owner, wish to ensure the plan contributions are used for the sole purpose of funding a pension, then you must set up a Group Pension Plan. A Registered Pension Plan offers the strongest guarantee that the funds will be used only for retirement.
