Pageu THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday July How about taxfree income ITS YOUR MONEY Paul J Rockel It s almost too good to be true One of the most fabulous invest programs ever invented which in my opinion was already terrific has become with each suc cess Ive Federal and Provincial Budget the almost perfect monthly income program the world has known Would you like to receive a mon thly income which if you haven used up your capital gains lion of is almost tax free Really who After all if I have or a multiple of that saved and Invested in Canada Sav ings Bonds or in G I or term deposits at the bank or trust com or credit union or for that matter in a mortgage every that I earn is taxable This means that if my investment of that earns interest and pays per cent then I must pay tax on the whole of that interest earn If I have a taxable income of less than then I must pay tax at the rate of approximately per cent If my taxable income is over and under 55000 my tax rate rises to about percent on the amount over 27 500 Therefore at a taxable income of 20000 my tax on the income from that would be J1 100 x per cent 297 leaving me with a profit If inflation is 6 per cent which it is currently in the Toron to area that eliminates per cent another from my original leaving me with a purchasing power gain of Putting it in proper perspective it means that my real rate of return after taxes and inflation is not 11 per cent but 2 03 per cent in more spendable dollars than the year previous At a taxable income of Id have left after taxes and inflation for a return of per cent not even one per cent And mats a good invest menf But today thanks to current tan regulations you can have a thly income which is largely tax free Yes I repeat largely tax free And to my knowledge its only available through mutual funds It called a systematic withdrawal program and what it does automatically each month is to sell off a little of your holdings to realize a capital gain and then pay it to you In fact almost per cent of people on such income pro grams take a set percentage of their original investment each month The good mutual funds have a history of increasing in value at rates of from 13 per cent to 17 per cent or more on an annualiz ed basis As long as I take out less than they have been earning my capital will not be depleted So if I wanted to take per cent per year it would amount to just as before however because the income is in the form of capital gains and dividends my tax in a typical case would be about 25 Take off inflation of per cent and what we have left In spendable dollars is 475 Which would you rather have 475or203 For a FREE chart showing the past 15 yean of bow a withdrawal plan has worked at a 12 per cent ask for Withdrawal Chart and contact Peter C Masson
