Liability without control: The curious case of pension income splitting

Author

Abstract

Canadian pensioners are now allowed to split income from an employer pension and, for people 65 and older, income from a registered retirement income fund, RRSP annuity and some other forms of annuitites. In this commentary I argue that pension income splitting has no efficiency benefits, while involveing significant revenue sacrifices.
