Can a spousal or common-law partner registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) be transferred to a registered retirement income fund (RRIF) that is not a spousal or common-law partner RRIF? After referencing the definition of “spousal or common-law partner plan,” CRA stated:
If a RRIF receives amounts from a spousal or common-law partner RRSP, then that plan is also a spousal or common-law partner plan. This characterization is relevant, inter alia, for the purposes of subsections 146(8.3) and 146.3(5.1).
