Tax planning

Wealth planning

Taxes are a part of life. Make it a potentially smaller part—to help preserve your wealth and reach your goals—by including tax strategies in your plans.

Tracking towards and reaching your financial goals often requires a blend of different types of planning. Depending on your unique situation, tax planning may help address varied and complex tax obligations, achieve your objectives in the most tax-effective manner or reduce your family’s tax burden.

At RBC Wealth Management, we help you consider different elements of taxation as it relates to your circumstances, needs and goals. Whether it’s for this year, looking ahead to your retirement or planning for wealth transfer, there are certain tax strategies that may be effective—now or over the long term.
