  31. Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) An RRSP is a savings plan to encourage Canadians to save money for retirement. The investment and the interest earned on the RRSP is sheltered meaning it will not be taxed as long as the funds remain in the plan. An RRSP allows you to defer paying tax on funds you contribute. You get a tax deduction for the amount you contribute.

  32. Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSA) The TFSA will allow Canadians to set money aside in eligible investment vehicles and watch those savings grow tax-free throughout their lifetimes. TFSA savings can be used to purchase a new car, renovate a house, start a small business, take a family vacation, etc.

  33. Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) A RRIF is a tax-deferred retirement plan that individuals use to generate income accumulated from the savings in their RRSP. It is mandatory to either withdraw all funds from an RRSP plan or convert the RRSP to an RRIF or life annuity year in which an individual turns 71. You must withdraw a minimum amount from your RRIF every year based on a formula that includes your age and the amount of capital.

  34.
