This situation would also apply to retirees, who receive income from pensions, annuities and registered accounts where an income stream has already been realized. EMPIRE SANDY EXAMPLE 3: Control the taxes on income from registered accounts. Investors who have a very large registered plan may look for methods to reduce their income prior to retirement. One practical consideration is that these investors may want to ensure that their income stays below a level at which OAS payments are clawed back, for example. In this situation, some people opt to withdraw or de-register a portion of their registered accounts to collapse the size of the account and avoid future income. This means they have to take the amount withdrawn into income in that year and pay the required amount of income tax. If the investor were to take these funds and purchase shares in a flow-through investment, they would enjoy the tax deduction and hence turn this withdrawn and realized income into capital gains. Another similar scenario may occur for investors who already take income from a Registered Retirement Income Fund or annuity. If the income is not needed to preserve a lifestyle or provide life essentials, again the income can be invested in flow-through products to offset the taxes. Day & Evening Themed Lake Cruises!

The power of flow-through investing can be compounded to generate free-flowing cash for years from a simple investment made over a twoyear period. Many investors follow a simple plan of liquidating the mutual fund securities held after the partnership is closed and investing those proceeds in another limited partnership. there will be capital gains taxes to be paid, but there should also be a very attractive after-tax return available for reinvestment, and further benefits. These are but a few tax and investment management strategies made possible by using flow-through shares. There are a number of risks associated with these investments and of course it goes without saying that the informed investor will always review and read carefully the information contained in the offering memorandum or prospectus of any flow through offering before investing. Potential investors are also advised to consult their tax advisors before investing.
