VPG Bulletin
January 2023

Hello,
 
Allow us to wish you a happy new year 2023!
 
Once again this year, we have prepared our traditional year-end video in English and French to help you identify trends that could be promising and close a year that has been the worst since 2008. However, it must be said that we are doing well despite everything, especially when compared to market comparable.
 
A new year also means new resolutions, new rates and new limits!
 
Here are the 2023 maximums for the main elements of your financial planning.
  • Tax-free savings account (TFSAs): $6,500
  • Registered retirement savings plan (RRSP): $30,780
  • Defined contribution (DC): $31,560
  • Defined benefit (DB): $3,506.67
  • Deferred profit-sharing plan (DPSP): $15,780
  • Advanced life deferred annuities (ALDA): $160,000
  • Year's maximum pensionable earnings (YMPE): $66,600
With the new year come financial boosts and price increases come into effect. The same goes for Hydro-Quebec rates, by 3% in the latter case.
 
On that note, have a good day and see you next time.
 
See you soon!



Francis, Michael, Hossein and Kristopher
