Retiring? Are You a Senior? (65+)

Those first couple of years transitioning into retirement can often catch you unprepared with new multiple sources of income (CPP, OAS, Pension, RIF, Investments, etc). Often tax deducted at source is insufficient on your overall income.

A little tax planning at the beginning of the year can go a long way to avoiding a nasty tax surprise.
