"We've built the best asset protection and tax deferring vehicle in Canada"

What is INTEGRIS Pension Management Corporation?

Offers incorporated business professionals (and C-Suite Executives) the most tax-effective way of saving for the future. INTEGRIS acts as a fiduciary between government and regulated companies in Canada to provide its clients with a high caliber Personal Pension Plan (PPP®). While INTEGRIS does not invest assets, it designs and implements pension strategies tailored to the individual’s needs and maintains the plan’s compliant status over a lifetime.

The PPP® is the most effective tax-savings solution permitted by Canadian tax legislation and generates the highest levels of wealth in Canada for its clients eclipsing all other savings vehicles such as TFSAs, RESPs, RRSP, and IPPs.

Origin

Drawing on over a decade of experience as a pension lawyer for several prestigious Toronto firms, including Bennett Jones LLP, Fasken Martineau LLP, Osler and Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, Jean-Pierre Laporte has dedicated his career to improving pension legislation. Frustrated that the significant benefits of pensions were not readily available to those outside of large companies, Jean-Pierre created the Personal Pension Plan ™ to level the playing field and open up a new world of financial options and increased retirement savings for incorporated professionals.

Who is Jean-Pierre Laporte?

In 2004, Jean-Pierre Laporte set out to create a better solution for investors that wanted improved asset protection while minimizing taxes. With an impressive academic background at the University of Toronto, Osgoode Hall Law School and the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, he is often called upon as an expert witness before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance, and he has written several seminal articles on pension reform, including an expansion of the Canada Pension Plan.

2014
 
 

Tax Legislation Change

Federal Government introduces tax legislation that virtually negates the advantage for business owners of receiving compensation from their private corporations in the form of non eligible dividends after factoring the corporate taxes paid. Many accountants revisit earlier advice to avoid T4 income (salary and/or bonuses) and adopt a more balanced approach making it possible for their clients to set up a PPP®.

Canadian Controlled Private Corporations Changes

Federal Minister of Finance Bill Morneau introduces a package of tax reforms that impact entrepreneurs who operate their business through Canadian Controlled Private Corporations. These new measures make it virtually impossible to save for retirement by treating the private corporation as if it were a quasi-pension plan thereby further increasing the usefulness of Personal Pension Plans and Retirement Compensation Arrangements as tax-effective retirement solutions.

 
 
2018
 
 

Changes to Investing assets passively

TOPI and TOSI Introduced The package of fiscal changes introduced by the federal government increases the tax on small companies that invest assets passively or tries to income split it with family members that aren't employed by the corporation.

Federal Budget: Inclusion Rate on Capital Gains jumps from 50% to 66.6%

Business owners who were saving through a non-registered corporate investment account will now see a portion of their retirement wealth disappear in the form of higher taxes on capital gains generated by the business.  The Personal Pension Plan allows them to bypass this tax hike by using the tax deductions granted to their business by the pension legislation.

INTEGRIS clients can often save $800,000 1 or more for their retirement when compared with traditional RRSPs. Get Started today to see how much further ahead you will be.
