RE: RE: Transfer to RRSP
RE: RE: Transfer to RRSPIf you are allowed to transfer your TRE shares at a zero price limit (Some have been set at this price, CIBC for example), then you have no RRSP claim for the year they are transferred, which to me isn't much of an initial benefit. If TRE craps out you lose the capital loss claim and if TRE does well you eventually have to pay the appropriate taxes. Of course, the tax rate is only charged at how much per annum is made (withdrawals + income), so the choice is up to you in that regard.
If TRE is to eventually perform, the TFSA would be the way to go - no taxes applied. But if it tanks, then you have wasted your TFSA allotted deduction...It is similar to the risk reward ratio that has been made many times on this forum.
