The Personal Pension Plan – Is It Too Good to Be True?

Knowledge Bureau is pleased to announce the publication of a new certificate course, Personal Pension Planning For Corporate Owner-Managers, by JP Laporte, CEO, INTEGRIS Pension Management Corp  and Mark Taucar, CFA, Porfolio Manager, Accilent Capital Management Inc. The PPP® offers many legal features to protect small business owners and their family in these challenging times, and for these reasons every financial advisor needs to know more about this plan.

Specifically, the PPP® offers five critical features:

1. Creditor protection under pension legislation
2. Super priority under bankruptcy laws
3. The ability to create new registered pension room through the use of special payments to go “bargain hunting” in a depressed stock market
4. Enhance basic portfolio management techniques to add further value to wealth creation.
5. and, should death occur, the ability to provide the surviving family members working in the family business to access accumulated wealth, rather than facing the significant tax consequences of the deemed disposition rules.

The PPP® can also provide specific benefits, some of which are listed here, but much more in depth information is provided in the course:

For example, advisors will be interested to know that the PPP® can also provide benefits:

• On the sale of the shares of the corporation to the children of the owner
• On the sale of the shares of the corporation to a third-party purchaser
• On the sale of assets of the corporation where recaptured depreciation is an issue
• Where the plan member retires early with a spouse who has no pension
• Where the plan member is a “US Person”
• Where the business is, usually on audit, classified by the Canada Revenue Agency as being a “personal service business”
• If the corporation or any of its associated companies have ‘passive investments’ that exceed $50,000 per annum
• Where the client decides to become a non-resident of Canada

JP and Mark will introduce some of these concepts at the Virtual CE Summits on May 13 and are proud sponsors of the event.
