How dividend reinvestment works in Canada
Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs) allow you to automatically use cash dividends to purchase additional shares of the underlying stock or ETF. This harnesses the power of compound interest, accelerating portfolio growth over time. In Canada, DRIPs are particularly powerful when combined with tax-advantaged accounts like the TFSA and RRSP.
When investing in non-registered (taxable) accounts, eligible dividends from Canadian corporations benefit from the dividend tax credit, making them more tax-efficient than interest income or foreign dividends. However, reinvested dividends in a non-registered account must still be claimed as taxable income in the year they are received, even though you don't receive the cash.
