Tax avoidance

Before I turned into a drama queen on Friday and huffed off on my Harley, I affirmed why I host this disgusting site: to help people. It’s why I provide a running commentary on the one asset class with the most influence and danger , real estate. Why I offer guidance on investing and tax avoidance. And why those who come here to mope, bitch and foment revolution can rotate.

In the period ahead, when wages are flat, jobs few and Boomers disintegrate, you need a plan. Owning a house isn’t one. Nor is having a pile of gold, or your fortune in GICs. I preach a diversified and balanced portfolio for good reason.Because it works. He saved donkeys in 2008, it leveled the collapse of S & P three weeks ago and spit 15% last year.

The worst way to contribute to an RSP is like everyone else - in the last two weeks of February, just to beat the deadline March 1st claim the deduction on taxes last year, and receive a refund in April. Of course, this means for a whole year you have overpaid on your taxes, sending more money to Ottawa that the buttons deserve. You are also putting money in a tax shelter where it can grow faster months later that you should have, so the foregoing months of growth.

Now, there have been some questions on this blog about how you get money out of an RRSP or a RRIF without paying tax. As you know, all a registered retirement plan does is kick the tax can down the road – it defers the hit instead of avoiding it, as a TFSA accomplishes. For this reason, it makes poor sense to invest in assets that yield lowly-taxed capital gains or dividends inside an RRSP, since it all comes out eventually and is taxed higher, as income. At least 99% of folks do not understand this, and keep equity mutual funds in their RRSPs and GICs outside. Pity.

Anyway, it is possible to transfer wealth from a registered plan into a non-registered one with the use of leverage – the fancy name for a loan. Just borrow some money on a line of credit with interest-only payments and then invest it in a nice, stable balanced portfolio of ETFs, bonds, preferreds, REITs etc. Then take whatever money you need to pay the monthly interest on the loan from your RRSP.
