Pension Income Splitting

UFile is the pension splitting expert.

The Government of Canada (and Quebec) now allows pensioners to allocate up to half of their income from retirement income funds and superannuations to their spouse, for tax purposes. Splitting your pension with your spouse can mean big savings and can be an important tax strategy for all couples with pension income.

For most pensioners and those who prepare returns for them, splitting pension income is next to impossible to get just right in the presence of all the available other valuable deductions and credits. These other variables must be accounted for in order to ensure the greatest benefit from this new measure.

Since the introduction of pension-splitting in tax year 2007, UFile has solved that problem for hundreds of thousands of UFile users. UFile`s unique MaxBack Refund Analyzer takes into account all tax deductions and credits when it calculates the best pension income split. Only MaxBack can analyze all of the tax information entered and instantly deliver a result you can rely on.
