Pensions and tax

Hi,

We are hoping to retire in Belize. Does anyone know if the 25% withholding tax on pensions would replace income tax? I don't want Revenue Canada double-dipping.   ;)

Thanks.

According to what Revenue Canada told us, yes, the 25% is with held as income tax.

Same appears to be true in the US - when you cash out retirement accounts the US Gov wants their money.
