My Simply Investing Dividend Podcast interview

The video covers the entire Canadian #taxation system for context, and answers the question for tax #efficiency.

Updated list of Canadian dividend payers and what kind of distribution they pay

For a #dividend #investor, using non-registered accounts, how the dividends get #taxed is important. I had previously compiled, and just brought up to date, a list of all publicly-traded #Canadian dividend payers. I painstakingly found what kind of #distributions the 500+ companies pay. The list is available here. I also provide the location you should check prior to buying the stock to confirm the #taxation on the distributions. If you invest in Canadian dividend payers in a non-registered account, find your companies in this list.

Find your combined provincial and federal tax table on taxtips.ca, but you can see below there is a significant difference in taxes for Canadian Eligible Dividends, Capital Gains, and everything else. This is why I compiled the list, and hope it is useful.

Video: Wealth Building Strategies by Net Worth

I walk you through what your main #priorities should be at each #stage of #networth and show you what #changes (and what stays the same) as your #investment #portfolio begins to grow. You have different #priorities at a negative net worth compared to when you’re at over a #million. We look at #mortgages, #debt, #creditcard debt, #studentdebt, living beyond your means and #lifestyle creep, the importance of #insurance, an #emergencyfund, #saving #rate, #interest #rates, using #index #ETFs, #bonds, #privateequity and #realestate. The importance of #financialplanning, #tax #planning and living an appropriate #lifestyle is also mentioned.
