what now bugs me is that 50-70K used to be a good income and was taxed at 18-22% ish.... now 100 to 150K is a good income and its taxed at 44-50 % . So now It seems were just being punished for making middle class income.
Yes & No. Either u r in the system or u r out. With no income to show on tax return, u r limited. U cannot buy properties without a mortgage. No landlord wants u cos u have no credit rating. U cannot use credit to invest or buy a car. U r will forever be at the bottom of the food chain.
Regarding the strategy of borrowing from your HLOC and investing in an income bearing investment. Does the investment have to be in a non-registered account or can it be invested in a registered account such as a TFSA or RRSP? Thank you
If I leave Canada and become a non resident, the CRA charges an additional 10% as "withholding tax " to make a total 25% tax on my CPP and OAS. They effectively tax pensioners a penalty tax for having the cheek to ditch Canada and leave. Is there a way to reduce this so-called withholding tax from 25%??
This is very much basic information. It should be taught to kids as soon as they want a drivers license. Hopefully young people can understand and learn from videos like these. Well done 👍
The financial system has been artificially pumped for over a decade to ensure big pockets were lined; and now those same hands will make a fortune in the largest transfer of wealth in human history by shorting it on the way down. Inflation does have a roll, but that's to keep everyone panicked, and focused on their bills and expenses, rather than focus on the capital crimes of politicians and corporations,I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $338k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market??
Find stocks with yields that exceed the market and stocks that, at the very least, follow the long-term market trend. However, you should get guidance from a financial advisor if you want to create a successful long-term plan
I agree, I've been in constant touch with an Investment advisor for approximately 17 months. These days, it's really easy to buy into trending stocks, but the task is determining when to sell or hold. That's where my advisor comes in, to help me with entry and exit points , I've accrued over $337k from an initially stagnant reserve of $148K all within 18 months...
@br4180 depending if you are employee self employee or business owner For employees Rrsp can helps reduce the income along with other tax deduction strategies
Conclusion I got out of this scenario for donations: Seen a video explaining that if a resident of Canada made a million dollars annually, they’d pay half of the income earned in income taxes. So if I were to pay 500k in donations to a charitable organization, I would get a tax credit return for the percentages mentioned above. Federal - 200 x 15% and beyond the 200 dollars(500k in this case) would amount to = 145,230 dollars given back to me Provincial - 200 x 10% and beyond the 200 once again(500k) would amount to = 105,020 Resulting in 250,250 dollars being saved in taxes am I correct ?
So for 8:36 I can’t get my head around it say you made $1400 and decide to donate $700 you got tax deductible of $300 and say your tax rate is 50% than (-700*0.5*0.5)+300 remaining 125 deductible will not be given by cash so your total income is 700 But if you just pay tax on full 1400 then you get to take home 1400*.5*.5=1050 So why would anyone do that?
Thomas said, "Even with ever increasing taxes, Canada is still in huge deficit". Seems 'someone' needs to learn more from you than any of us here, Thomas.
Just a note Thomas I thought of mentioning that you did not discuss. At age 65 you can income split your RRSP funds with your spouse when you convert some or all of the funds to a RRIF.
When filing taxes, it’s always asked if you have property outside canada. How are properties / piece of land outside canada treated by cra? Hope you can make a video. Thanks
Hi Thomas...great content. ..thank you. ..can you give information on how to withdraw your RRSPS without paying or lowering the withholding tax especially when you retire early. ..thank you
Hey Ariel, if you or a family member is eligible for the disability tax credit you can withdraw money from an RRSP and receive the taxes back via the DTC. Also if you have a low income year move RRSP funds to your TFSA as the first $15000 of income is tax free (basic exemption) Some folks who have a large RRSP will even retire at 60 and remove funds from there RRSP from age 60 to 65 at a very low or tax free income level.
yeah sure, if something happens to your business and you owe, say payroll taxes, any dividend stripping would be taxes directly on you the director mate.....it is all never roses....LOL
Not sure if you realize it, but only paying yourself in dividends will effect the amount of CPP benefit’s at age 65. As your CPP benefit’s are based on employment income.
@@WATCHLLS The CPP calculate your benefit base on the best 10 years of working....... You can also ask the CPP to send you a report of your contribution with the amount you will received at your retirement.
Hey Thomas, such a great and informational video!!! Thanks for bringing to surface these ways to save $$$. Really good to know you can add the "interest of borrowing" when investing. Have a great day!
Hey, hope you guys like this remastered version! Get This free handout - "How to prepare for Retirement During this Global Recession" finance.thomascchan.com/retire1
Hi Thomas , I find your videos very informative and hope to work with you in the future. I have two questions. If I am only renting, and buy a rental property, can I assign the rental property as my principal residence to avoid capital gain tax even though I wouldn’t live there? Secondly, would there be any tax implication to invest in ON if I live in BC? Thank you very much in advance!
Hi John. Thanks and sounds good 1. You can't rent out the property and call principal residence. As you needs to reside. Cra can easily proof if you use record living in there. Yes as in they will be using On tax bracket instead of bc
As someone who recently became a Canadian I don't wanna pay alot of taxes but I do wanna help stimulate this economy and give more people jobs and stuff like that etc!
It seems like you are paying to fund failing foreign wars now, not much use since our citizen safety and border security is not being adhered to; which is the only reason to pay taxes.
Maybe i'm wrong here, but in todays world, the young generation like the gen-Z likes to see their investments in shorter time frames like in a 15 to 20 years growth. The Dave Ramsey Show on youtube gives out 15 to 20 years investment plans, but i know it's a US financial planning show.
For sure. With today's social media Influence. Younger tend to look for a boom in short time frame. But in my 2 cents. We first need to have the foundation first.
I love the video but I hate to burst your bubble: this video will not apply to 90% of the Canadians. I know cause I am a Financial Planner for one of the Big5. Most of these ideas either produce way too little result or carries a big enough risk that unless you have a portfolio of over 2-3 million liquid asset; it simply won't be applicable. You will be shocked how many people I meet in a daily bases that still think investing is better than paying off their credit card debt.
?? why would i want to pay less?? services like hospitals and other healthcare professionals need our taxes so they can get paied and live a happy life.. why are you only thinking about yourself and not others? esecially with covid in 2019 these people deserve to get the money they work for
Others are ok but Charity tricks is very unacceptable we Canadians are having food 2 times instead of 3 times… and now a days many people came to our home in the name of charity… giving 100 to save 15 is foolish….
what now bugs me is that 50-70K used to be a good income and was taxed at 18-22% ish.... now 100 to 150K is a good income and its taxed at 44-50 % . So now It seems were just being punished for making middle class income.

Glad it helps!
I left and now no more taxes after 50 years
left to where?
Is it possible in quebec ?
RRSP but what about when you have to cash or close at I believe 71 and then you pay how much tax then !
Hi Ed.
Age 71 is not the end. It just goes to rrif. Where you just need to take around 5% minimum

Ok I will check out the link below
Hey Ariel, if you or a family member is eligible for the disability tax credit you can withdraw money from an RRSP and receive the taxes back via the DTC. Also if you have a low income year move RRSP funds to your TFSA as the first $15000 of income is tax free (basic exemption) Some folks who have a large RRSP will even retire at 60 and remove funds from there RRSP from age 60 to 65 at a very low or tax free income level.
I have a manufacturing faclity...I'm paid by dividend.....I pay ZERO income tax......since 2013.....and collect all benefit
Cool! Business and dividend is one of the effective way!
yeah sure, if something happens to your business and you owe, say payroll taxes, any dividend stripping would be taxes directly on you the director mate.....it is all never roses....LOL
it is called director's liability!

Quote: This is a tax on tax and more taxes on taxes.
RRSP really ? Not in my experience. Why would the taxman not want us to know. ? We pay his salary. He should be transparent. Get a new taxman.
The BIGGEST secret is .... there is no valid Income Tax Law ... failure to comply with s. 54 of the constitution Act 1867 ....
By the way it's FEWER taxes and LESS tax. Just saying.
Thank you!
Yo dawg, I heard you like paying taxes, so I put a tax on the carbon tax to go with the other 3 taxes I tax you!
