Age 65 or older in 2017?
Take advantage of the $2,000 annual Pension Income Tax Credit.
The pension income amount allows you aged 65 + to claim a federal non-refundable tax credit on up to $2,000 of eligible pension income.
If you don’t have a pension plan at work, there are ways to create pension income that qualifies for the pension income amount. One way is to convert your RRSPs to a RRIF. Another way is to use your RRSP money to buy an Guaranteed Life Annuity.
Qualifying pension income doesn’t include Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS) or Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) payments.
