Bennett Insurance specializes in:

Group Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP)

Offers the benefit of pre-tax payroll deduction contributions, providing employees an immediate tax break each time they contribute. Employees can contribute up to their RRSP limit each year. With earnings and contributions fully tax-sheltered until withdrawn, this is an ideal way to save for retirement.

Defined Benefit (DB) Plans

The employer agrees to provide a specific level of retirement pension, whether as a fixed-dollar or percentage-of-earnings amount. The benefit available may increase with years of service at the company. The company assumes financial risks for funding the pension, including those associated with interest rates and investment rates of return.

Defined Contribution (DC) Plans

Requires specific or defined contributions from the employer. Contributions may also be required by or offered on an optional basis to employees. All contributions are deposited in a pension fund, to accumulate investment earnings until retirement. The amount of retirement benefit is not guaranteed and can be negatively or positively influenced by interest rates and investment returns.

Deferred Profit-Sharing Plans (DPSPs)

“Setting up and administering a group retirement plan can be time-consuming and complex. Bennett Insurance makes it simple.”

Rewards employees for their role in the financial success of the business. The employer can share business profits with employees by contributing to the DPSP on each employee’s behalf. Contributions vary year-to-year, depending on company results. Significant shareholders or family members are not eligible to enroll in a DPSP; however, they may enroll in the RRSP and TFSA (if these programs are in place). DPSPs are subject to maximum contribution limits set by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Group Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs)

Provides a multi-purpose savings vehicle in which all investment earnings are tax-sheltered. TFSAs do not provide tax deductions upfront; however, withdrawals are tax-free and members can re-contribute any amount they withdraw in a subsequent year, without penalty.
