Tax-deductible Contributions – You get immediate tax relief by deducting your RRSP contributions from your income each year. Effectively, your contributions are made with pre-tax dollars.
Tax-sheltered Earnings – The money you make on your RRSP investments is not taxed as long as it stays in the plan.
Tax Deferral – You'll pay tax on your RRSP savings when you withdraw them from the plan. That includes both your investment earnings and your contributions. But you have deferred this tax liability to the future when it’s possible that your marginal tax rate will be lower in retirement than it was during your contributing years.
