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 2005. 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.
  • Eligible Canadian 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.
  • Return of Capital (Non-taxable) distributions received must be used by the investor to reduce the adjusted cost base (ACB) of their shares/units. This will impact the capital gains realized by each investor upon any future dispositions of the shares/units. As an example, if a 50 cent per unit non-taxable distribution was received during the year, the investor would reduce the cost base of each unit by 50 cents.
