Weekly Links-Mid-Summer Edition

Another week has gone by here at Canadian Tax Resource. Here is a list of articles from blogs I read, that I found interesting this week.

Canadian Financial DIY wrote about how the government taxes your RRSPs at death. When you pass away, the full value of your RRSPs will be included on your final tax return and taxed along with all your other income. Someone who passes away with $150,000 remaining in his or her RRSP (or RRIF) could be facing a hefty tax bill. In my opinion, some appropriate planning and perhaps some insurance can help reduce the tax bill at death.

On a similar note, The Wealthy Boomer warns about the dangers of leveraged RRSP meltdowns.
Financial Highway is giving away a free copy of Gordon Pape’s “Tax-Free Savings Accounts.

Guest writer Kathryn at Million Dollar Journey shares some financial regrets.
