Proposed AMT Rules and Effect on Departing Canadians

The 2023 federal budget announced significant changes to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) regime to better target the AMT to high income individuals. On August 4, 2023, the Department of Finance released draft legislative proposals to modify the AMT regime, effective as of the 2024 tax year.
These AMT changes will have a significant impact on Canadians who are planning on exiting Canada for tax purposes after Dec 31, 2023.

What You Can Do if the Federal Government Increases the Capital Gains Rate in 2022

Although the Canadian government has considered raising the capital gains rate in previous years and declined to do so, some are speculating that increasing debt, campaign promises and the cost of the fight against COVID could mean this is the year the government will increase the capital gains rate.
Is there anything you can you do now to avoid the potential tax increase? While I can’t predict what will be in the 2022 Federal Budget, here are three possible solutions for pre-empting a higher capital gains inclusion rate.

Non-residents and Registered Retirement Savings Plans (“RRSPs”)

Non-residents of Canada can continue to hold RRSPs after leaving Canada. Income and gains in an RRSP are considered tax-free in Canada and in many foreign countries with which Canada has tax treaties and where non-residents may live.

As such, non-resident taxpayers may consider contributing to RRSPs for various reasons, if they have Canadian taxable income and RRSP contribution room.
For one, taxpayers can enjoy an immediate tax savings as RRSP contributions are deducted from Canadian taxable income.
