Hello, My company is evaluating two options: whether to sponsor in Canada RRSP or combined plan DPSP/RRSP. There will be 10 employees, employee will aim to contribute annually $10,000, employer will contribute $5,000 regardless. So can someone walk me through the costs and benefits of both plans FROM EMPLOYER's PROSPECTIVE. My understanding is that if the employer contributes under DPSP - it will be separate from RRSP and can be deducted as operating expense. If the employer contributes into RRSP - it will be part of the salary and thus taxable to the employer as a salary. So what is the bottom line for the employer in each scenario? Also, how much does it typically cost to open/maintain the plan, etc... I would appreciate any information or links to some useful sources, besides BenefitsCanada. Thank you, Kseniya
