Unfortunately, you can‘t rely on that figure 100% of the time, so here‘s how to calculate it for yourself. For 1992, your RRSP deduction is calculated by adding any RRSP deduction room you carried forward from 1991 to the lesser of $12,500 or 18% of your 1991 earned income. If you are a member of a Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP) or Registered Pension Plan (RPP), you have one and possibly two more steps. You must deduct your 1991 pension adjustment (PA) and if you have a 1992 net past service pension adjustment (PSPA), you must also deduct that amount. With the maximum RRSP deduction limit currently at $12,500 and rising to $15,500 in 1996, it is becoming increasingly difficult for many of us to come up with our total contribution in one lump sum. Setting up a regular contribution schedule is often the solution. § M. 1992 DEDUCTION LIMITsS x ie PP // i y WA ( £2°> e C \ m A i = in a o 4 f | 28 2 a C & ) R # W 1\; _. / J ,J#, ! 1 Sorting Through the RRSP Contribution Confusion day Tues toys.

Look out! A lot of people â€" some already hurting from the recession â€" have lost their money in investments that were promoted as a "sure thing." Many of these deals involved questionable business practices. "Consumers must understand that they‘re increasing their chances of losing everything when they seek returns higher than those offered by investments guaranteed by deposit insurance," says Brian Cass, assistant deputy minister of the Ontario Minister of Financial Institutions. "Over the past few years, we‘ve investigated a number of failures of mortâ€" gage brokers, real estate tax shelters, and syndications where investors lost their retirement savings," Cass adds. Those offering higher risk investments appeal to a desire for quick profits, as well as other weaknesses. One technique is to make you feel you‘re being admitted to a group of insiders with confidential information. To keep you from consulting with others, it may even be suggested the investment is slightâ€" ly illegal. . (Fos) f “E;/ery investment carries a risk. You have to decide what levels of risk is acceptable to you," notes Brian Cass who gives potential investors the followâ€" ing tips: a cay, * Be wary of schemes which guarantee a quick profit. Generz_llly, the higher the potential rate of return, the higher the risk you‘ll lose everything. 2 * Don‘t be talked into 'makiné a hasty decision. Reject high_-prcssgre sales pitches. Consider your investment choice carefully. Get impartial advice from your accountant or lawyer. § * Before signing anything, show all the documents to your own lawyer, not the lawyer of the outfit offering the investment. If the promoter won‘t let you take the contract to your lawyer, don‘t sign. If your own lawyer suggested the investment to you, get the opinion of another lawyer who is not involved in any way with the investment. * Be sure you understand the nature and extent of the risks associated with a particular investment. Don‘t invest more money than you can afford to lose. Diversify: don‘t put more than 10 per cent of your savings into one investment. * Carefully assess the honesty of the people involved in the investment for references and check them. » * Make sure the investment complies with the applicable laws of the Ministry of Financial Institutions and the Ontario Securities Commission. The ministry‘s mandate is to protect investors. If a promoter suggests a deal has been structured to avoid the scrutiny of regulators, ask why. * Check the quality of the information you‘re given about an investment. Demand that the promoter provide all the material you need to make an informed decision. * Don‘t fall prey to aggressive telephone sales pitches. Frequently investâ€" ments offered in this way are made to sound like onceâ€"inâ€"aâ€"lifetime opportuniâ€" ties but are actually of little value.
