What is an IPP? • An Individual Pension Plan (IPP) is a registered, defined-benefit pension plan sponsored by an employer. It is set up for a single individual and spouse. An IPP seeks to guarantee a certain level of income in retirement
Key Benefits of An IPP • Allows for larger contributions compared to an RRSP. Provides pre-determined retirement benefits. Benefits are indexed to increase with inflation. Assets are protected from creditors. Pension benefits may be split with spouse.
Additional Flexibility • A member can retire at 65. • A plan member can begin receiving benefits as early as 55. • Retirement may be extended to the end of the year in which the member turns 71. • An IPP can be terminated at any time, with assets being transferred to the members locked in RRSP.
Possible Disadvantages • IPP assets must be used for lifetime retirement pension. • Cannot be de-registered unless member is in ill health or leaves Canada. • There are some additional costs, however additional tax savings outweigh the costs.
How Are Benefits Paid? • A guaranteed life annuity must be purchased form a life insurance agency. Assets may be transferred to a Life Income Fund (LIF) or a Locked In RIF (LRIF). Assets may be used to pay pension, and after death remaining assets go to spouse or estate.
