Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Splitting allows you to split your CPP pension(s) as a couple to lower your overall taxes.

Do not get confused with Pension Splitting, which is the ability (under our guidance) to split up to 50% of your private pension (excluding CPP and Old Age Security) with your spouse when we prepare that year's Personal Tax Return. This also allows you, as a couple, to lower your overall taxes.

In a nutshell, your (your spouse's) CPP Pension must be split at the source (meaning through application to Service Canada), while Private Pension Splitting is done by our office when we prepare your Personal Taxes.

We have divided the CPP into various sections and suggest you review each section carefully.
