Type of retirement savings plan
This is in reply to your request dated April 16, 1993 regarding the type of retirement savings plan accepted for registration for the purposes of section 146 of the Act.
The Loan and Trust Corporations Act of the Province of Alberta mentions that a corporation that is duly constituted or incorporated under the Laws of Alberta or of Canada or of another province may apply for initial registration as a trust corporation or a loan corporation. To the extent that XXXXXXXXXX is registered as a trust corporation, it is our view that the arrangement described in the application form submitted for review is a retirement savings plan described in clause 146(1)(j)(ii)(A).
Paragraph 146(2)(c.3) applies where a retirement savings plan involves a depositary. It is our view that paragraph 146(2)(c.3) applies to a trust corporation that is member of the Canadian Payments Association because such a trust corporation is referred as a depositary for the purposes of section 146 of the Act.
