The cut‑off date for making your 2022 RRSP contribution is March 1, 2023.
› Contributions are tax deductible and thus lower the amount of tax you would otherwise have to pay, and
› The investment returns in your RRSP are not taxed until you withdraw the funds. This tax deferral results in greater compounding as your funds accumulate more rapidly than they would in a non‑registered account.
Your deduction limit For 20221
Your deductible 2022 RRSP contribution is limited to the lesser of 18% of your earned income for 2021 up to a maximum of $29,210 plus any unused RRSP deduction room from previous years. The amount will increase to a maximum of $30,780 for your 2023 RRSP contribution.
Start thinking about your 2023 RRSP contributions
To take the greatest advantage of your tax deferral opportunities, it would be more beneficial to make your RRSP contributions at the start of or throughout 2023 rather than waiting until the first 60 days of 2024. This allows you to take maximum advantage of income tax sheltering on your investments.
