or call Earl or Donna at 604 589-5871ParticipantHi this is about the RDSP.
Here is a link for information.
http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/disability_issues/disability_savings/faq.shtmlIn response to our inquiries to our financial advisor he has provided the following info from Manulife:
"When planning for a disabled child you have to be mindful of any
government benefits the child is entitled to and consider whether the plan
you put in place will jeopardize those benefits. There are asset and income
tests that determine whether there is any reduction in the government
benefits. A discretionary trust is often used to hold assets for a disabled
person as such a trust (sometimes referred to as a Henson Trust) is not
considered an asset of the disabled person under the Employment and
Assistance for Persons with Disabilities Act. There's a provincial
government website that describes the disability assistance programme in
full, including reference to the use of a discretionary trust and the
income/asset tests (follow link below):http://www.eia.gov.bc.ca/PUBLICAT/bcea/trusts.htm
I'm not sure an annuity is the best tool to provide cash flow for the
disabled child, whether the annuity is purchased through a discretionary
trust or not. Who would be the measuring life? While the parents are alive,
presumably they can provide the funds their child will need, what the
parents may be trying to ensure is that the child will have financial
support after they're gone. One planning solution I've seen implemented
previously is where the grandparents purchase two single life policies, one
on each parent. Separate policies are used so that there will be a tax-free
death benefit payable on the death of either parent, thereby providing
funds at the death of the first parent and additional funds at the death of
the second parent. This staggered payment may be beneficial if one parent
were to die and the surviving parent was left incapacitated and unable to
provide for the disabled child. Separate policies are also required to
achieve a tax-deferred rollover on the death of the grandparents (discussed
below).The grandparents would be the joint owners of the life insurance policies
and would pay all the premiums under the contracts. A discretionary or
"Henson" trust would be established on the first to die of either parent by
the designation of one or more trustees as recipient of the life insurance
proceeds on behalf of the disabled child, a beneficiary of the trust. On
the death of the last grandparent the interest in the life insurance
contracts would be bequeathed to each parent. As you are aware, a transfer
of a life insurance policy at death is a disposition for tax purposes.
However, where an interest in a life insurance policy is transferred to a
child of the policyholder for no consideration, and a child of the
policyholder or a child of the transferee is the life insured under the
policy, subsection 148(8) deems the proceeds of disposition to be the
policyholders ACB in the interest, and the transferee acquires the policy
at a cost equal to the transferor's deemed proceeds. The intergenerational
transfer of a life insurance policy is described in greater detail in a tax
topic; I'll forward that to you separately.As the trust will be settled only on the payment of the life insurance
proceeds paid as a consequence of death of either parent the trust should
be treated as a testamentary trust which provides ongoing tax advantages
over an inter-vivos trust. Drafting of the trust document and structuring
the life insurance policies and beneficiary designations to ensure
disability benefits are not lost is complex. The clients would need to
engage a lawyer who is familiar with this type of planning to assist in the
documentation."I am still trying to understand the Manulife response. For us, I look at the grant as $1000 contributed by the government for every $1000 we contribute is so good that any reduction in other benefits is not a concern.
Thoughts?
ParticipantHi, This is about income tax.
If one has reached the maximum in child care expenses, has anyone been successful in claiming therapist expenses as medical expenses?
It seems therapy (assuming a t2201 has been completed and approved by CRA) has to be "prescribed and supervised by a doctor, a psychologist (for a mental impairment)…" as seen in:
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/ddctns/lns300-350/330/llwxpns-eng.html#therapy.OR one could view it as "training" in the item below "therapy" [does not appear to require t2201]
For 2007, at our current family income, medical expenses of 6,174.71 cause a tax refund of 883 (14%), not as good as a child care deduction (30% for us), but still $833.
