Without a clear tax strategy, even the most diligent wealth‑building efforts can fall short—particularly as retirement approaches. This challenge was central to The Globe and Mail’s April 7th webcast, which explored how smart tax planning can strengthen long‑term financial security. The event brought together financial experts who unpacked how proactive tax decisions can enhance long‑term wealth and retirement readiness. Speakers shared practical strategies to help Canadians keep more of their income, including maximizing tax‑advantaged accounts such as RRSPs and TFSAs and using income‑splitting strategies to reduce overall tax burdens. Estate planning was also a key focus, with guidance on minimizing taxes owed at death and preserving wealth for future generations.
