Tax Credit
Investments in SaskWorks are eligible to receive a tax credit equal to 32.5% in addition to their RRSP tax deferral.
The SaskWorks Payroll Investment Plan (PIP) is a simple, tax efficient and effective way for employees to build their retirement savings. From a financial advisor’s perspective, the program is a value-added service that may be offered independently or as a component of a group benefits plan.
The PIP allows employees to make direct contributions to their SaskWorks investment each pay-period. The 32.5% tax credit and the RRSP tax deferral are received at source, that is, deducted from the income tax paid each pay period so employees will only see a minimal reduction in their net pay. At no cost to the employer and with a simple one-time set up, the SaskWorks PIP is an attractive retirement savings plan and effective employee retention strategy.
More than 150 Saskatchewan companies offer their employees the option to affordably keep their investment dollars at home with the SaskWorks Payroll Investment Plan.
