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: A Canadian Retirement Study

I discuss a May 2024 Harris #Poll on #Canadian #retirement, done on behalf of #EdwardJones. We discuss what the survey found as #keys to #success in retirement, what financial course corrections one can make, like #reducing #debt, #maximizing #savings, following a #plan and a #budget, and getting #financial #education and #Financialadvice. It is important to #testdrive your retirement first if you can, and two-thirds of #Millennials are concerned that their #parents or #in-laws may not have enough money to live comfortably in retirement.
