Foreign dividend income is taxed at the investor’s marginal tax rate without the benefit of a dividend tax credit, unlike Canadian dividend income, which qualifies for a tax credit. The feedback from the document states:

"Foreign dividend income is not eligible for any dividend tax credit, and is taxed at an investor’s marginal tax rate."

An annuity provides a steady income stream until the client’s death, suitable for someone with uncertain income sources and no interest in leaving a legacy. The feedback from the document states:

"The client needs a steady source of income from his investment. This rules out a ratio withdrawal plan and a life withdrawal plan. With a fixed-dollar withdrawal plan his capital could be exhausted before he dies. He should choose an annuity that will pay a fixed amount every year until his death. If he lives beyond the guaranteed term, the annuity will cease with his death, but this fact is not important as he does not wish to leave a legacy."

A mutual fund corporation is a type of mutual fund structure that is organized as a corporation and issues different classes of shares to investors. A mutual fund corporation has the ability to allocate its income and expenses among the different classes of shares, and to distribute any income received by the corporation in the form of either capital gains or Canadian dividends. These types of distributions are taxed at lower rates than interest or foreign income, which may reduce the tax liability of the investors. A mutual fund corporation can also use capital losses to offset capital gains, and carry them forward or back to reduce taxable income in other years.
