Changing the tax setting of your portfolio

Changing the tax setting of your portfolio

If you want to change the tax setting in a portfolio with a tax residency from one of the countries below, please click on the country and follow the country specific instructions:

To change your existing default tax setting from 'Non-registered', standard tax rules:

1 — Select the ‘Settings’ tab.

2 — Select the ‘Tax settings’ tab.

3 — Select your chosen ‘Tax Entity Type’. Set the Tax Entity of your portfolio to be either:

  • Non-registered - standard tax rules apply (default).

  • Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) - Non-resident withholding tax does not apply for US stocks.

  • Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) - Non-resident withholding tax does not apply for US stocks.

  • Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA)  - Income from Canadian investments will be treated as no-taxable by default and not appear on the Taxable Income Report. Non-resident withholding tax still applies.

The ‘Inclusion rate’ percentage can be manually adjusted by typing the percentage in the box.

4 — Click ‘Save’.
