Contributions to RRSP
We are in agreement with your views as expressed in your memorandum of March 17, 1982 concerning the application of paragraph 146(5)(a) of the Income Tax Act to members of the XXXX Pension Plan for RRSP purposes.
We are not in agreement with the XXXX interpretation of the Pension Plan. Although the employer's contributions do not vest in an employee until he has ten years of pensionable service, it appears that the employer does in fact make contributions from the outset. Any voluntary contributions made by an employee to the Pension Plan will, of course, reduce the amount of premium deductible under paragraph 146(5)(a).
Since the XXXX does not appear to have any authority to act on behalf of the parties involved, we assume that your reply will be on a general basis.
