What is Previously incurred investment income?
- Previously incurred investment income is investment income accrued before the valuation date for each asset in the plan.
- The total amounts entered apply to all assets in the plan. These amounts are used by NaviPlan to calculate start-of-year market values for the assets in the plan.
- This dialog box also displays any previously paid account fees for plans using the Detailed Tax method.
- By default, NaviPlan displays the account fees paid from January 1 of the plan year up to the Plan Analysis Date.
How is Accrued Investment Income handled in NaviPlan?
- For accounts with a midyear valuation date, it is assumed that the start-of-year market value is the same as the market value as of the valuation date. Account growth is not calculated until the month specified as the valuation date.
- NaviPlan uses each account’s rate of return to estimate the investment income earned on non-registered accounts from the start of the year to the month prior to the valuation date. The estimated amount, which includes all non-registered accounts, is considered accrued investment income.
- Investment income calculations include two periods:
- Accrued investment income from January to the month previous to the valuation date
- Non-accrued investment income from the valuation date to the end of the year
- NaviPlan calculates taxes on the total investment income (both accrued investment income and the asset growth starting in the month specified as the valuation date). Using accrued investment income may affect cash flow in the first plan year.
- Accrued investment income is an aggregate amount including all non-registered accounts. Accrued investment income is not reinvested into the accounts. Only after-tax income earned on each account since the valuation date is reinvested.
- Accrued investment income displays the collective amount by return type, but it is calculated for each non-registered account individually.
- All accrued investment income is included for tax purposes.
- All of the investment income (accrued income as well as the amount for the remainder of the year) is shown in the Income (for taxes) – Investment line in the Income Tax Summary report. Income is broken down by type, such as interest or dividends.
- Any taxes owing on the accrued investment income (that is, the income earned prior to the valuation date entered) are paid from the clients’ cash flow, not from the investments.
How is Previously incurred investment income calculated in joint analyses?
- In a joint analysis, accrued investment income is normally assigned evenly between the client and co-client. However, if the Owner is a dependant the accrued investment income is distributed as follows:
Owner dependant of |
<client> |
<co-client> |
Both clients or Other |
50% |
50% |
<client> |
100% |
0% |
<co-client> |
0% |
100% |
