There are four types of profit-sharing plans (PSP): cash or current distribution PSP (CPSP), employee’s PSP (EPSP), deferred PSP (DPSP), and registered pension PSP (PPSP). EPSP, DPSP, and pension accumulate in a trust fund together with interest, whereas CPSP is distributed regularly in cash. DPSP and PPSP are taxed when the money is granted, while CPSP is taxed with salary payments, and EPSP are taxed annually. All plans but CPSP are registered under some sections of the Income Tax Act. Access to the money is given immediately in case of CPSP, and in the other three plans, employees gain access upon retirement or termination.
