The answer that you should tell Harry is that he should hold profitable investments as long as possible. A capital gain is the difference between the selling price and the purchase price of an asset when the selling price is higher than the purchase price. A capital gain is subject to tax only when it is realized, meaning that the asset is sold or disposed of. Therefore, one way to defer paying tax on capital gains is to hold profitable investments as long as possible and delay selling them until a future year. This allows the investor to postpone paying tax on the capital gain and benefit from the compounding effect of the investment returns. Therefore, option A is correct regarding how to defer paying taxes on capital gains. The other options are not correct or effective ways to defer paying taxes on capital gains. Option B is false because investing in mutual funds just before the dividend paying date does not defer paying taxes on capital gains; rather, it increases the taxable income of the investor by adding dividend income, which may be subject to a gross-up and a tax credit depending on the type of dividend. Option C is false because buying and selling investments actively does not defer paying taxes on capital gains; rather, it triggers more taxable events and increases the transaction costs of investing. Option D is false because holding unprofitable investments as long as possible does not defer paying taxes on capital gains; rather, it reduces the potential return of the portfolio and prevents the investor from using capital losses to offset capital gains from other sources.

The right of withdrawal is a statutory right that allows investors to cancel their purchase order of mutual funds within a specified period of time and receive a refund of the amount they paid. The right of withdrawal is also known as the cooling-off period or the rescission right. The right of withdrawal for investors can be different depending on which province (or territory) the fund was purchased within, as each jurisdiction has its own securities legislation and regulations that govern the mutual fund industry. For example, in Ontario, the right of withdrawal is two business days after receiving the simplified prospectus or the fund facts document, whichever is later1. In Quebec, the right of withdrawal is two business days after receiving the simplified prospectus or confirmation of purchase, whichever is later2. In British Columbia, the right of withdrawal is 48 hours after receiving confirmation of purchase3. Therefore, Mariana may still be able to exercise her right of withdrawal, depending on where she bought her mutual funds and when she received the required documents. References:

Whether the couple saves on income tax will be dependent on Minu’s marginal tax rate. Pension income splitting is a tax planning strategy that allows a spouse or common-law partner who receives eligible pension income to allocate up to 50% of that income to their spouse or common-law partner1. This may result in tax savings if the transferring spouse or common-law partner is in a higher tax bracket than the receiving spouse or common-law partner1. The tax savings depend on the difference between the marginal tax rates of the spouses or common-law partners1. The other statements are incorrect. Minu will not be exposed to a pension adjustment (PA) if she receives income from Saheed’s pension. A PA is a measure of the value of benefits accrued in a registered pension plan or deferred profit sharing plan during a calendar year2. It reduces the RRSP contribution room of the plan member, not the spouse or common-law partner who receives part of their pension income2. Pension income splitting is not a form of tax evasion and is not illegal based on income tax legislation. It is a legitimate way to reduce taxable income and taxes payable by shifting income from a higher-income spouse or common-law partner to a lower-income spouse or common-law partner1. Pension income splitting may change the total amount of income taxes paid by the couple, depending on their marginal tax rates. If the transferring spouse or common-law partner is in a higher tax bracket than the receiving spouse or common-law partner, pension income splitting may lower their combined taxes payable1. However, if they are in the same tax bracket, pension income splitting may not have any effect on their taxes payable1.
