Introducing: Empire Life GIF Growth Commission Bonus program

New for 2021, earn a commission bonus for actively promoting the value of Empire Life Guaranteed Investment Funds (GIF) to new and existing clients. The growth commission bonus is available on deposits made between January 1 to December 31, 2021.

How does the Empire Life GIF Growth Commission Bonus program work?

100% of the growth commission bonus is payable directly to advisors to reward them for growing their GIF business and providing outstanding in-force service to existing Empire Life GIF clients.

The program rewards successful advisors in two ways:

  1. GIF Deposit Bonus Rate – A commission bonus is payable based on GIF gross deposits.
  2. Net Growth Bonus Factor – The GIF Deposit Bonus Rate is multiplied by the Net Growth Bonus Factor to determine the total GIF Growth Commission Bonus.

Policyholder tax reporting for 2020 and RRSP season 2021

Deposits to a registered plan received within the first sixty (60) days of 2021 are eligible as a tax deduction for the 2020 or 2021 taxation year. A tax receipt will be issued stating that this deposit was made in the first 60 days of the year. This year, the deadline for a 2020 tax receipt is Monday, March 1, 2021.

Helpful hints for a smooth RSP season:

  • Please make sure to have the application or account number on the cheque
  • Please make sure the cheque is current dated with the correct year ( i.e. 2021)
  • Please do not send in duplicates (only send paperwork one way: email, fax or mail). If sending multiple copies, ensure to indicate that on the paperwork

Read the information circular for important 2020 tax reporting and RRSP season 2021 cut off dates for all Empire Life investment plans.
