| TYPES OF INCOME EARNED |
 |
-
Capital gains
are taxed at much lower rates than interest income, dividend income and foreign
source non business income. The capital gains inclusion rate was 50% for 2002.
The T-3 or T-5 you receive from your investment dealer will show the breakdown
of the capital gains received from any of the Quadravest products.
-
Dividends
received from Canadian companies are taxed at a much lower rate than interest
income. This is because the corporation has already paid tax on its earnings
before paying a dividend to the Fund. On your tax return, you actually report a
grossed-up dividend and then claim an offsetting dividend tax credit. The T-3
or T-5 you receive from your investment dealer will show the breakdown of the
dividend income received from any of the Quadravest products.
-
Interest income
received from a money market instrument or bond is fully taxable in the same
manner as a salary or pension.
-
Foreign non business income includes foreign dividends and are fully
taxable, however there will be a credit for any foreign withholding taxes paid.
Each type of income must
be separately declared on
your tax return. |

everywhere except in New
Brunswick (where the
provincial surtax creates a
bracket at $101,359 or
more). Rates include all
federal, provincial and
territorial income taxes and
surtaxes. The final details
of the taxation of Canadian
dividends are not yet
available for some provinces
and the rates shown may
change. |
