Yes, you can collect up to $49,284 in dividends every year, and not pay a single dime in income tax. You simply have to know how to invest with the tax code in mind. You need a guide in front of you that cuts through the maze of Canada’s tax laws and concentrates on the rulings that are most important to investors. You have to know where you can save and where you can gain with smart tax planning. That’s why we put together the TSI Network Tax Guide for Canadian Investors 2015.
Our tax guide is written from an investor’s point of view. This sets it apart from most tax guides. It is invaluable for both tax planning and overall portfolio planning. It puts special focus on the tax laws and tax strategies that mean the most to Canadian investors. We draw on our long experience in investment advice. With this background, we have created a concise guide, complete with seven tables for quick and easy reference.
With this guide, you approach your taxes, and the person you have chosen as your tax preparer or advisor, with a strong base of knowledge. You’ll have the ability to ask your tax accountant the right questions, or even handle your own taxes with confidence.

Today’s tip: “Your investments gain doubly in your RRSP, but if you lose you take a double loss, so don’t use it as a place to find out if you have a talent for stock trading.”
Registered Retirement Savings Plans or RRSPs are a little like other investment accounts, except for their tax treatment. You can put up to 18% of the previous year’s earned income, maximum $24,930 for 2015, into an RRSP, and deduct it from your taxable income. (The limit is lower for pension plan members.) You only pay taxes on your RRSP investment, and the investment income it earns, when you make withdrawals from your RRSP.
