Registered Pension Plan

Definition


Registered Pension Plan (RPP): a formal retirement savings program set up by a Canadian employer – or sometimes a union – that meets the rules in the federal Income Tax Act and is registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Money is set aside from your paycheque (and usually matched by the employer) into a fund that grows tax-free until you retire. Contributions and investment earnings are tax-deductible to the employer and are not taxed in the employee’s hands until the pension is paid out, at which point they are treated as regular income. The plan must be for the primary purpose of providing periodic retirement income and meet minimum funding and locking-in rules.
