Do you: have j an unusual. source of. income? If so, you may qualify for an income- averaging annuity purchase. Maybe you're an. author, composer or painter. Maybe you run the 100-yard dash or play tight ‘end for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Maybe you play. the piccolo in the symphony. Here are some types of unusual income: ° Half of net capital gains; e Recapture of capital cost allowance; e Disposal_of goodwill and other eligible capital property; ® Sale of inventory after a business closure; . " @ Sale of income interest in an estate or trust; e A prize of more than $500 for achievement in your field; e Exercise of an employee stock option benefit; © Single payment in full of an_ employee's rights under an employee pension Plan that is wound up; e Single payment in_ the event of death, retirement or withdrawal from a deferred profit-sharing plan or em- ployee pension plan; '@ Single payment as a result of an amendment to an employee pension plan when the employee remains a member; Single payment on retirement in recognition of long-service but not from a pensionplan; - * Payment received on or after retirement for loss of office within the year or in the year preceding; — «Payment received as a death benefit in the year of - death or the following year; © Payment from a refund of ‘premiums after the death of the owner of a Registered Retirement Savings Plan; e Income from the production of a literary, dramatic, musical or other artistic work; * Income from activities as an athicte, musician or public entertainer. Naturally, most people don't qualify on a regular basis for the purchase of an income-averaging annuity. But, if you do, you have up to 60 days after the end of the year in which to buy the annuity. By buying one you're able to spread your unusual source of income forward over the number of years for which you buy it. The an- nuity may be bought for a maximum of 15 years’ guaranteed term, or for life. And the guaranteed term cannot extend past your 85th birthday. If you have a large income from an unusual source you could find yourself in a high tax bracket unless you take care to spread the receipt of the monies over a period.
