The CLARITY Framework™ pillar
T - Tax Optimization
See the tax cost before making the move.
Tax Optimization reviews deductions, credits, taxable income, registered-account choices, capital gains, clawbacks, and timing. It helps make tax visible without letting tax become the only objective.
Planning questions
What this pillar helps answer
- Am I creating avoidable taxable income?
- Should money go to an RRSP, TFSA, FHSA, or non-registered account?
- What tax cost comes with selling, withdrawing, or commuting?
- Could timing change the result?
Framework context
How it connects
This pillar is part of a broader planning picture. A result in one area often changes another: cash flow affects savings, debt affects flexibility, taxes affect account choices, and personal goals shape what tradeoffs are acceptable.
