The advantages of the VRSP for self-employed workers and employees

Like RRSP, contributions to a VRSP are tax deductible and your investments grow tax-free until retirement.

When contributions are deducted at the source, participants benefit from tax savings.
Contribution rates are solely based on members’ ability to save.
Since plan fees are low, savings within a VRSP grow faster.
Enrollment is easy, as employees are enrolled by their employer.
Employee contributions are not locked-in, which is useful should an unexpected need arise.
The funds paid into the VRSP belong to the participant, even if they change employers.
