6 Spousal Loans Use of spousal loans Consider loan from high income family member to lower income family member at CRA prescribed rate of 1% (current subject to change quarterly). Loan interest is taxable to higher income spouse and deductible for lower income spouse. Lower income spouse invests loan proceeds and income from investments is taxed in lower income spouse s hands. Loan must be properly papered and there must be a paper trail to document interest paid to avoid attribution of income back to higher income spouse. (Interest must be paid at least annually and no later than 30 days after the end of the year)
7 Pension Income Splitting 2007 and later taxation years. You and Spouse can agree to split up to 50% of your eligible pension income. Transfer if one spouse is in a higher tax bracket than the other and to utilize $2,000 pension income credit Cannot use Family Tax Cut provisions if split pension income Consider moving $4,000 per year from RRSP to RRIF? Eligible pension income > age 65: RPP, RRSP, DPSP and RRIF Eligible pension income < age 65: RPP Certain payments received as a result of the death of your spouse
8 Transferring Capital Losses Between Spouses Spouse #1 has a stock that has decreased in value Spouse #2 has realized a capital gain. Spouse #1 transfers the stock to Spouse #2 and elects out of the spousal rollover provisions so the transaction is deemed to happen at FMV. Superficial loss rules apply and loss is denied to Spouse #1 but increases Spouse #2 s tax basis of shares. Spouse #2 waits 30 days and sells the shares on the open market to trigger the loss. The loss can be applied against Spouse #2 s capital gain.
9 Family Trust General Discussion What is a Family Trust? Cost / benefit of setting up this structure. Family Trust and attribution. (Use of interest bearing loan) No Kiddie Tax on public company dividends. Use of a partnership with a Family Trust.
