RRIF Withdrawal

Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF), the most popular among all because of having how the money is withdrawn and how you’re taxed. RRIF has the flexible feature of withdrawal, an individual can make withdrawals as often as he/ she wants and that minimize their year-to-year tax bills. Registered Retirement Income Fund is the plan to have more control over their own money and to grow their funds faster without the near-term tax bills so, the contributor needs to withdraw a specified percentage of the balance each year from the RRIF. It seems the withdrawal is mandatory in RRIF even if we are in need or not, more we delay drawing out from our RRIF will face a higher lifetime tax bill. The minimum required withdrawal is determined by the taxpayer’s age at the beginning of the year and by multiplying the fair market value of plan assets at the beginning of the year by a “prescribed factor”, reported on line 130. An RRIF has the same withholding tax rates as an RRSP on withdrawals, providing a regular stream of payments from age 71 to 100. The new RRIF withdrawal percentage range from 5.28% at age 71 to 6.82% at 80, 10.21% by 88, 18.79% at age 94 and 20%  by 95 and beyond. In Brief withdrawal rates rise steadily over time and for non-residents, withholding rates are 25% for lump-sums, and 15% for periodic pension payments.

Registered Retirement Income Fund has a lot more to provide to their plan holders like if an individual spouse is younger than him, he can use her age to determine the minimum withdrawal rate. In this case, if an individual is looking for maximum withdrawal than its better off using his own age factor, otherwise their going to be subject to withholding tax. Even by converting an RRSP to an RRIF, we can potentially make minimum withdrawals to save thousands in income tax and have saved at our early retirement instead of sitting and waiting to turn 71. RRIF has the facility to make a withdrawal on monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually basis, but any further change in the frequency of withdrawal and the amount drawn from the account may charge a fee. There is one another situation where, if you have enough income for all your needs or don’t need to make any withdrawals from RRIF account, one only need to re-buy the investments or just transferred in a TFSA or taxable account. By this, you going to save the transaction fees on the transaction and the withdrawal is fully taxable as income, regardless of whether you take the withdrawals in cash or securities.
