Is it possible to contribute more than $5,000 a year to the Fonds?

Yes. You may contribute more than $5,000 per calendar year.

However, keep in mind that the 30 percent1 in tax credits available through the Fonds applies only to the first $5,000 of your annual contribution.

If your contribution room allows and you wish to contribute more than $5,000 to your RRSP for the current year, you could invest the first $5,000 in your RRSP+ with the Fonds to benefit from the 30 percent in tax savings,1 and then invest the rest in an RRSP with FlexiFonds2.

You should also know that the Fonds is limiting contributions until the end of the current fiscal year to maintain a balanced business model.

This measure does not affect FTQ savers who make contributions by payroll deduction, who already contribute via automatic bank withdrawal, or who would like to purchase FlexiFonds mutual fund units. Given that share issuance is limited, lump-sum contributions, new contribution subscriptions by automatic bank withdrawals, and increases to contribution amounts are not permitted.

To stop all contributions by payroll deduction or automatic bank withdrawal, savers have two options:

The tax credits amount to 30%, namely 15% at the Quebec level and 15% at the federal level, and are limited to $1,500 per fiscal year, which represents a $5,000 purchase of shares of the Fonds de solidarité FTQ. On March 1, 2024, The Government of Québec announced in Information Bulletin 2024-3 that tax legislation would be amended to postpone by three years the rule providing that the tax credit would be available only to individuals whose taxable income for a given taxation year was below the highest tax rate. Please note that this postponement may be subject to legislative changes.
