What are the tax benefits of an RRSP+ with the Fonds de solidarité FTQ?

An RRSP+ with the Fonds provides two tax benefits that, when combined, can save you between 57% and 83% in tax on the amount contributed!

First benefit: Tax credits

With the RRSP+, you’re eligible for two tax credits that, when combined, add up to 30% in tax savings.[1] The maximum contribution amount eligible for tax credits is $5,000 per year, per person, which represents an additional tax savings of $1,500 ($750 at the Quebec provincial level and $750 at the federal level).

Second benefit: Basic RRSP tax deduction

You’ll also benefit from the tax deduction for which all RRSP holders are eligible. These tax savings vary from 26.5% to 53.35% depending on your marginal tax rate.

Legal Notes
1
The acquisition of shares of the Fonds de solidarité FTQ may give rise to labour-sponsored fund tax credits. 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.
