Talk:Income splitting

I'm trying to understand today's edit history, particularly the Reverted edit. I believe that one intended change has been lost in the See also section. --Peculiar Investor 20:57, 24 November 2013 (MST)


 * I cannot locate anything amiss in the See also section. No changes other than capitalization fixes were done in the recent edits. --LadyGeek 21:47, 24 November 2013 (MST)

Two-income couples
In two-income couples, the higher income partner cannot just give money to the lower income spouse for investment purposes: attribution rules will apply. However, nothing prevents the higher income earner from paying all or most of the household expenses, while the lower income partner keeps as much as possible for investment. This way, over time, the odds of creating more equal incomes during retirement increase. Should we mention this? --Quebec 17:26, 23 December 2014 (MST)
 * Here is a relevant quote from Alexandra Macqueen, "A Primer on Family Income Splitting", Canadian MoneySaver, June 2009 (p. 30-33), that says it in fewer words:
 * "The higher-earning spouse’s income can be used to fund the expenses of daily living, while the lower-earning spouse’s income is saved. All gains, interest and other income is thus taxable in the lower-earning spouse’s hands." --Quebec 17:47, 23 December 2014 (MST)


 * If you think the article can be improved, go ahead and make the change. Adding credible sources is a big help. Unfortunately, the Article Archives - Canadian MoneySaver indicates your article is restricted to subscribing members only. I'm not sure you can quote it here. Perhaps your original thoughts would be better. --LadyGeek 13:04, 24 December 2014 (MST)


 * "I'm not sure you can quote it here". Why not? CMS is available in many public libraries. It's like a short quote from an investment book. --Quebec 07:39, 26 December 2014 (MST)
 * I would suggest that the solution is to use subscription required as part of the reference. --Peculiar Investor 08:14, 26 December 2014 (MST)
 * Thanks for the explanation. I didn't understand the nature of the content and was being cautious. --LadyGeek 14:30, 26 December 2014 (MST)

CRA Archived Content
The link to IT511R - Interspousal and Certain Other Transfers and Loans of Property is marked as a "Archive" document. Has it been superseded, thereby indicating a need to update finiki? --LadyGeek 13:04, 24 December 2014 (MST)
 * From CRA, What the "Archived Content" notice means for interpretation bulletins -- "The notice has no effect on the status or reliability of the ITs. They are current up to the effective date stated in each publication. The notice merely confirms that the page is not subject to Government of Canada Web standards and that the content will not be altered or updated." Therefore no specific need to update finiki. --Peculiar Investor 22:50, 29 December 2014 (MST)
