GICs

Post by Junoon123 »

Guys i have monies in a high interest saving account i am wondering if i can transfer this to a 15 month GIC. Just curious if their will be some additional tax implications?

None that I can think of.

Remember with GICs -- for IRS purposes -- you do not have to declare the income until maturity (if you use cash vs. accuraul method of reporting). And Canada will not tax at source for US residents.
