Ron Haik: Smarter, Tax Effective, Giving Strategies


 

Are you able to give? You may be fortunate to be able to bless others. Wouldn’t you want your support to be used as effectively as possible? People have traditionally focused on giving money out of their surplus. But there are tax-efficient ways to give. During this webinar Ron Haik, Senior Financial Advisor, Nicola Wealth, discusses some innovative approaches to philanthropy: utilizing your current Retirement Income Fund (RIF), life insurance or Canada Pension Plan to leave a greater legacy; the gifting of private company shares; in-kind donations; flow-through shares; and setting up a foundation or donor-advised fund.
