Pension adjustment (pa)

A taxpayer’s PA is meant to reflect the amounts of benefits accruing to a taxpayer under employer – sponsored RPPs and DPSPs of which the taxpayer is a member. For DPSPs, the PA is basically the amount of employer contributions to the DPSP. For money purchase RPPs, the PA reflects the sum of the employee and employer contributions to that plan. For defined benefit RPPs, the PA reflects the amount of benefits accruing to the taxpayer in that year, according to the defined benefit formula in the plan. Basically, the Pa for defined benefit RPPs) is equal to nine times the benefit plan (thus the PA being nine times 2% of earnings minus $600) will use up most of the taxpayer’s RRSPs are directly limited by benefits accruing to the taxpayer under employer – sponsored retirement saving vehicles. www.insuranceplancanada.com

Rules provide for the reporting of Pas by all employers who sponsor RPPs or DPSPs. The CRA informs taxpayers of their RRSP deduction limit for a taxation year in their Notice of Assessment for the prior taxation year. This Notice of Assessment is sent to taxpayers each year once their tax return for the previous year has been filed. The taxpayer’s RRSP deduction limit is based on his/her earnings and Pas from the prior year, so the CRA has all this information by the time the notice of assessment is prepared. For example, a taxpayer’s RRSP deduction limit in 2015 depends on his/her PA and earnings for 2014. The employer must report the 2014 Pas by the end of February 2015 on the taxpayer’s T4. in turn, the CRA will include the RRSPdeduction limit for 2015, which is based on 2014 earnings and Pas, in the taxpayer’s Notice of Assessment for 2014, which is usually delivered to the taxpayer within four to six weeks after the receipt of his/her income tax return.
