The UTC Individual Retirement Unit Account is a tax-free, equity-based, long-term investment vehicle. Regular contributions to the Fund allow for greater accumulation of capital and for increased potential for returns over the long term. As the Fund is equity-based, its performance is based on market conditions. Investments include stocks, bonds and Income Fund instruments. As such, price fluctuations are possible and these may impact the value of your investment. However, the capital invested is guaranteed once held for more than 3 years.
When you retire, the income from other plans must be taxed. With the IRUA, your retirement income is Tax-Free (in Trinidad and Tobago). With other plans you must pay taxes on your retirement income.
