About the Republic 134(6) (Corporate) Tax Incentive Savings Plan

Republic's Trust & Asset Management Division provides two (2) corporate retirement savings plans that provide benefits to both Employers and Employees. The Republic 134 (6) Tax Incentive Savings Plans are designed under the provisions of the Income Tax Act of Trinidad & Tobago section 134(6). These provisions allow the earnings of an employee, which are categorized as bonus and allowance income to be paid non-taxed, directly by the employer into the plan for the purpose of generating retirement benefits for the employee.

  • Republic 134(6) (Corporate) Tax Incentive Savings Plan (CTISP)
    Employers can contribute directly to this approved plan on behalf of their employees, up to a maximum of 33 1/3 % of the employees’ Annual Chargeable Income or 20% Annual Emolument Income. All contributions made by the employer are fully tax deductible.

  • Republic 134(6) (Corporate) Equity Tax Incentive Savings Plan (CETISP)
    With features similar to the CTISP, the Republic 134(6) CETISP further enhances potential investment returns through a portfolio of primarily equity securities. The Investment Managers at TRAM manage this portfolio taking into consideration prevailing economic and capital market conditions, seeking at all times to optimise returns consistent with the risk profile of the plan.
