Surely it depends on the individual situation, only is at that place any recommended literature, software, or all-time practices?
If revenue enhancement minimization is your goal keep all your coin in a no interest chequing business relationship. 
For OAS clawback I see 3 groups. Lower income that will never have OAS clawback. Higher income that will take all OAS clawed back. Then the in-between group that may have some clawback. For that grouping, cartoon downwardly some RRSP funds afterward retirement but before mandatory RRIF withdrawals begin at age 71 tin can lower the overall taxation brunt, especially if the early RRIF withdrawals don't push you up into a higher marginal tax bracket. Pay some additional revenue enhancement at present to avert paying even more tax later. It'southward much lower immediate tax brunt for me now to spend from my non-reg account, since information technology's only taxed on capital gains at half my marginal tax charge per unit. But by making some early on RRSP withdrawals I may be able to reduce my OAS clawback, for greater overall savings. I am currently taking about 20% of my spending $ from RRSP and 80% from not-registered account.
To manage taxes at death remember the 2nd R in RRSP and RRIF is retirement. Leaving too much in your tax-deferred accounts tin mean a huge revenue enhancement burden for your estate. Drawing too much from your RRSP or RRIF early means higher taxes now leaving less to chemical compound. Find a rest of gradual RRSP/RRIF withdrawals to accept them generally deleted past your optimistic life expectancy, to the signal that the remaining corporeality will non drive a very high taxation rate.
I don't accept any pension so plan to filibuster CPP until historic period 70, because information technology gives more than than double what I would go at age 60. CPP/OAS are authorities guaranteed, inflation indexed, lifetime income. I don't see delaying govt pensions every bit a way to increase my total amount received in normal economic conditions. Rather, I see it as longevity insurance, lessening the chance of running out of funds tardily in life due to whatever combination of adverse economic conditions including high inflation, low investment returns, or failure to die in a timely style. I plan to take OAS at 65 because the % increment for delaying is less (0.5%/month rather than 0.6%/month). As well CPP is a workplace pension and my payments will exist based on my piece of work income and contribution years, whereas OAS is simply paid out of general tax revenues thus more susceptible to government changes. It takes a huge level of fed and provincial agreement to alter CPP.
This article gives some strategies on which accounts to draw from beginning in retirement. Hard to optimize in advance since information technology depends on uncontrollable variables like life expectancy, tax rate changes, and economic atmospheric condition. Nevertheless some reasonable assumptions can reduce the tax brunt.

What about redeeming GICs in RRSP? I heard that fifty-fifty if a gic in a rrsp is non maturing information technology can nevertheless be converted to a rrif and then withdrawn. Is this true, as I cannot find anything on the banks sites that say this. To illustrate, could I purchase a x yr GIC in an rrsp today, and then convert it to a RRIF tomorrow, and then withdraw information technology all the following 24-hour interval?
I enquire because I wonder if I need to reduce lengths of my GICs as I well-nigh retirement; or if the above is truthful, then should I really brand them long GICs for the college charge per unit without the downside of loosing liquidity.

Which Account Should I Draw Offset In Retirement?
That is a corking article link. What I found interesting was in spite of the major focus on minimizing taxes, the discussion but centered effectually avoiding/limiting OAS clawback which is a 15% surtax. The words estate planning was nowhere to be found. When removing money from locked in accounts are placed in priority sequence, estate planning comes top of mind. Having huge locked in accounts into retirement represents a major tax liability for the estate. Tax gratis transfer to spouse is an available option. Unless there is a huge age differential, the problem is only punted down the road slightly. Sadly, revenue enhancement lives on after decease.

I don't believe that's true. If it was, then a lot of people would buy long term GICs in RRIFs, and redeem them early every bit yous suggest. If you must withdraw from a RRIF and only have a GIC that is non maturing, the FI may permit y'all redeem it early, merely there probable would be a punishment such as forfeiting some or all of the interest.
I go on ii rolling 5-year GIC ladders, which would give me enough guaranteed income maturing every twelvemonth for 5 years in the issue of a actually bad bear market place. Non something I want to use, merely there if the market gets really bad.

I only skimmed it considering it is 71 pages, only I find iii flaws which makes me question the entire paper. Do others agree?
ane) author'due south estimates are based on nominal dollars and non existent dollars. Time value of money should take a big bear upon on the results given the ten twelvemonth difference in payments. Besides, an actuary that does not consider time value of coin....blasphemy.
2) I thought cpp payments become annual aggrandizement increases. Wouldn't this outset about a quarter of the benefit from delaying. I don't see it in the author's math.
iii) the author acknowledges the touch of non earning years on delaying cpp and calls information technology meaning, but again, fails to account for it in the math.
Seems like the writer has a bias and is cherry picking assumptions to support her stance.
I take non done the math, just my suspicion is that it is all a wash and meant to provide flexibility. Although ane may see benefit one way or the other depending on marginal tax rate or personal rate of return. Some interesting reads:
https://www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/Eng/Docs/CP ... Study2.pdf
https://www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca/Eng/Docs/ocaas18.pdf
Couple of quick points.
Before you outset collecting CPP, your entitlement is indexed to wage inflation. After you get-go collecting, your payment is indexed to price inflation. Wage inflation is usually higher than price inflation, which is another slight reward of deferring.
If you lot live an average lifespan, and then your expected total payout should be a wash, whether you accept at 65, defer to seventy or take early at sixty. One of the documents you linked to noted that "the current actuarial adjustments are likewise generous for contributors who elect to have their retirement benefit before age 65. Conversely, benefit uptake subsequently age 65 is penalized". But since and then the Age Adjustment Factors take been revised upwards for deferring by 65 in an attempt to equalize the payments no-affair when you elect to beginning CPP.
Many people prefer to take CPP early because they prefer "a bird in the hand" with payments now over the possibility of greater payments later. Here's how I look at it. If you have CPP early and die early, your estate gets more money because you will have spent more regime pension payments and less of your own coin. Your beneficiaries will like that just yous wont care because well, you volition be expressionless. If you defer taking CPP and live a very long time, yous become more authorities guaranteed, indexed, lifetime money. Yous will similar this because it lessens the risk of exhausting all your savings. Your beneficiaries will not like it because you spent more of your savings early in a trade to get more guaranteed government payouts later on.
I solemnly swear, to never assume I accept an clue at which direction the market will head, and to never make whatever investments based on a timing strategy.

I literally have a 13 year plan for yearly RRSP withdrawals, so did consider different angles. But this is year i, so will reconsider if some of the assumptions don't pan out
When an private retires at a young age, as you take, each RRSP withdrawal results in less tax free uppercase growth. Accept you performed any calculations or analysis on the bodily divergence in leaving the assets to grow 20+ years taxation free and then paying the taxation man a larger cut upon forced RIFF withdrawals versus pulling more than from RRSP now, transferring that to a non reg account and then paying the tax on the upper-case letter gains after 20+ years. You would also have to take into business relationship the dividends which makes it fifty-fifty more complex.
Truthfully either way, its a peachy problem to accept.

Is this withhold taxation some kind of pre-paid of your total annual income revenue enhancement? Let's say, if my whole income for the year is $30000 all from my RRSP, the withhold tax might be thirty%, so I only get 21000. But when I file my revenue enhancement written report next yr, I should go dorsum some refund every bit the tax rate nether $48,535 is 15%?
Right. You'd indeed get $21000 afterwards the withholding tax. CRA would access your tax on the $30000 income. For example, revenue enhancement calculator for Ontario 2022 estimates $3786 in tax, so you lot'd become a refund of $9000-$3786 = $5214.

Suprisingly to me, non-registered can work fine even for the 20 years timeframe. (The result can be dissimilar if the investment render is huge in nominal terms, including a possible example it grows due to high inflation.)
A somewhat reasonable example: investments grow 4x in 20 years; the upper-case letter gain inclusion rate increases from electric current 50% to 75%; 30% marginal tax rate now vs 50% later; no dividend. A $yard in RRSP grows to $4000, or $2000 after tax. The not-RRSP case will mean $700 investment, which grows to $2800, that's $2012.5 after tax. Eligible dividends may amend this, as the taxation rate on them may be effectively negative.
In practise, early on RRSP withdrawals give you more liberty of spending if y'all decide to, eastward.1000. on a huge expense / purchase / gift.

I played around with evaluating the advantages/disadvantages of going afterwards registered accounts funds first vs letting them grow tax deferred. I used a more pocket-sized marginal revenue enhancement charge per unit in the evaluation. What I found is that tax deferred growth has a minor advantage, everything else being equal. Information technology is pretty hard to make up for a 30% loss of upper-case letter up front end due to taxation. Even so, for estate planning purposes, it is a huge risk not to describe down locked in accounts as soon every bit possible. The merely tax efficient way to do that is a little at a fourth dimension starting as shortly as possible. I run across this decision as having parallels to the conclusion of when to take CPP. Based on average life expectancy, everyone should take CPP at age 70 as that yields the maximum lifetime benefit. Yet, very few volition defer past 5 years fifty-fifty if they practice defer. Nosotros all accept life insurance when we are young to safeguard against early decease. Well, what is the insurance against early mortality?

Lots of good info here, thanks to anybody who spends time crunching all the numbers and sharing their thoughts. Nosotros're in a fairly unique situation with no pensions, very petty CPP, never had a huge corporeality of RRSP's (none now), and no kids, so the standard retirement plans and guides only don't work for us. Interesting to see the different angles people go at this from, quite a bit to chew on.
When we started thinking virtually retirement there was no real math involved, merely a philosophy that the more tax paid money we had the quickest, the better. I've ever believed paying as much tax every bit you tin can beget is the way to get, equally I encounter taxes as but another form of debt, and I'grand obsessively debt balky. Another 5% tax to bump the acme the third bracket is a reasonable price to pay for the peace of mind of getting rid of the revenue enhancement homo that much sooner IMO. Though it does seem counter-intuitive to want to pay more revenue enhancement yr later on year, over the long run I'one thousand hoping it'll balance out with far less to pay later.

This planning is far from exact science. We do have access to formulas but the effect lies in the inputs, some of which are only known in the future. I see retirement planning as a journey. As imprecise as the estimates are, I have a spreadsheet that includes manor planning, considering there is taxes after decease. We can't be overly focused on current taxation savings. Best tax efficiency takes into account the present and future years.

That sounds correct. The 50% marginal tax charge per unit is mostly the case for the final revenue enhancement return. Not too likely for early on retirees with a typical life expectancy, particularly women. For "normal" withdrawals such as RRIF minimum withdrawal, the marginal tax rate might also be 40% or below, which makes a good case for tax deferral. 45% marginal tax rate is a purlieus case: the RRSP vs taxable event in my example would depend on the capital letter gains inclusion rate. That is, RRSP would exist better if that charge per unit increases to 75%, only worse if it stays at l%.
A 45% marginal revenue enhancement rate shouldn't be that uncommon after the pensions outset, given how the OAS clawback alone is interim similar an extra 15% tax for the afflicted income. Lower-income retirees still can hit it if their assets are in RRSP/RRIF and they have to pull a big corporeality one year. Though the modern solution for that is to "borrow" from a maxed-out TFSA.
The decision is close. It's still applied to have a mix of RRSP and not-registered to "diversify" for all the future variables.

I assume one big variant here is the size of RRSP. If the RRSP is reasonably big, and RRIF minimum withdrawal, together with CPP and OAS, might trigger OAS clawback, then withdrawal from RRSP account first while deferring CPP and OAS to 70 will be much more than beneficial.
If one would never trigger OAS clawback, or if one will always take all OAS clawed back, not considering estate planning, withdrawing from non registered account would exist better I guess.
I am close to retirement and in planning this. The electric current programme is to filibuster CPP and OAS, withdraw from RRSP, and use eligible dividends from not-registered accounts to reduce some tax burden while providing enough greenbacks for expense. Simply I guess I won't know what I will practice before bodily retirement. Every bit long as 1 has enough buffer, I think everything would be OK.

@FarmerHarv I would similar to see some articles in the G&Yard "Are they ready for retirement?" department where they address unique situations such as yours. I'm sure they are more mutual that what is presented at present where the people and situations seem interchangeable.

I am not virtually that high cyberspace worth. My counterbalanced withdrawal strategy is designed to continue average taxation rate nether 20%, marginal tax rate within of the second major bracket (31.48%, ~$79,000). The second bracket should exist enough for 99% of retirees. If 20% taxation is assumed for the levelized locked in business relationship withdrawal, there should some reward over a large manor driven disposition.

I did not quite understand your comment about how CPP entitlement is indexed to wage inflation until I learned how pension entitlement is calculated this weekend. The 2022 YMPE escalation (iv.9%) vs CPI (ane%) definitely favors those who are yet to collect. With 5 yr averaging of YMPE, large jumps like this exercise become smoothed out. I compared the YMPE escalation and CPI over the by 40 years and found little difference. I did not apply compounding, just straight line addition of the yearly escalations. Going forward, it is a tough phone call equally to which will dominate. There is a lot of talk nearly college aggrandizement going forward due to all the money printing going in every country. That might favor existing pensioners. With the introduction of enhanced CPP, does that put less pressure on increasing YMPE? v-10 years is not a lot of time to actually yield a major reward either way. I suspect that this is something to recollect about among many other considerations, just it is non probable a dominant cistron.

I am going close the loop on the withholding tax discussion. According to the CRA website, withholding tax on RRIF withdrawal is taken on the so chosen backlog portion above the minimum corporeality using the lump sum withholding tax rate. This lump sum revenue enhancement charge per unit has been well discussed already. This minimum amount is determined by the residual in the RRIF business relationship and the age formula 1/(90-age). Most people are unlikely to completely convert their RRSP to RRIF until historic period 71 and so the minimum corporeality is likely to be cypher and so pretty much an entire withdrawal will be the classified as backlog portion. For multiple withdrawals in a year, we accept to exist careful that there are not too many of them resulting in the CRA interpreting that they are instalments in nature. Instalments are taxed based on full sum of instalments and not private withdrawals. The takeaway is that if RRSP withdrawals are expected to be a regular matter, it might non injure to transfer a small corporeality of funds to the RRIF and go on it there on an ongoing ground to boost the minimum amount that will escape withholding tax.

Taking funds from non registered account could exist helpful to taxes in the brusk term but it is actually deferring the taxation problem into the hereafter which can get worse. Everything else being equal, unwinding the RRSP account over a longer menses of time should ease the overall tax brunt. Earlier historic period 71, you lot accept command over how to withdraw from the RRSP account. At historic period 71, information technology becomes a RRIF by force and there is no more than hiding from the CRA. In fact, taxation rules dictate how the account will take to unwound. Manor planning is a major consideration in how registered account should be managed. So, mode too many things to consider than can be covered in discussion forum.
As for deferral of CPP/OAS, nobody can predict the hereafter. A bird in hand is worth more than than ii in the bush. Unless the marginal tax rate is literally100%, it would exist seem counterproductive to defer on account of taxes.
If yous can "beget" to filibuster, it is almost always beneficial to defer getting CPP until age seventy. This is actuarial and mathematically proven to be a improve option for those that are healthy plenty and have enough savings to defer CPP.
