When an RRSP or RRIF annuitant dies, tax implications at that time depend on the residential status of the annuitant. This podcast discusses the implications when the plan annuitant is a non-resident of Canada with specific references to differences in withholding taxes when the annuitant is a non-resident vs a Canadian resident, when and how a Canadian tax return plays a role and tax-deferred rollover opportunities when the plan beneficiary is a spouse, common-law partner or financially dependent child.
