What this means for RRSP vs TFSA in Saskatchewan

A top-bracket Saskatchewan resident faces 47.50% combined marginal tax - 14.50% provincial plus 33.00% federal above $258,482. An RRSP deduction claimed here is worth that entire gap, provided retirement withdrawals land at a lower rate.

With a 14.5% spread between the $100,000-income rate (33.0%) and the 47.50% top bracket, Saskatchewan is a province where WHEN you deduct matters almost as much as whether you deduct, saving the RRSP claim for a high-income year is worth the wait.
