Retirement: Registered Plans

Financial advisors need to take tax implications into consideration when building decumulation plans for their clients. Being able to point out tax-saving strategies is a value-added service clients will need and appreciate. RRIF withdrawal relief and potentially the replenishment of TFSA or non-registered accounts are important topics.
