Don’t Let High Taxes
Shrink Your Retirement

Withdraw Your SRS Savings Wisely—And Potentially Pay No Tax At All

If you’re 62 or older, you can begin accessing your SRS savings. But without a withdrawal plan, a significant portion of your retirement funds could be lost to taxes.

Let’s break it down

Withdraw $40,000 Per Year

  • $20,000 taxable
  • Pay $0 Tax
  • Only 50% of SRS withdrawals are taxable
  • The first $20,000 of taxable income is tax-free

This tax relief strategy is available every year for 10 years. But misuse it—and the consequences could be costly.

$40,000 withdrawal

  • $20,000 taxable
  • Tax-free

This tax relief strategy is available every year for 10 years. But misuse it—and the consequences could be costly.

The 10-Year Rule:

What Happens If You Delay

SRS accounts must be emptied within 10 years of your first withdrawal. Fail to do so, and the remaining funds will be taxed all at once.

Example:

• $500,000 in SRS

• $300,000 withdrawn in 10 years

• Remaining $200,000 → $100,000 taxed in a single year

This could raise your tax bracket and reduce your retirement income.
