TFSA
Tax-Free Savings Account
A Tax Free Savings Account offers the benefits of investing funds in an account without being taxed on the income or growth of the asset.
How the account works
If you’re a resident of Canada who has a valid Canadian Social Insurance number and over the age of 18, TFSAs are an excellent way to grow your savings tax-free. While the money you put into a TFSA is not tax-deductible like an RRSP, when you take it out, it is tax free.
TFSAs were introduced in 2009 with new contribution room created each year based on an amount set by the Federal government. Funds withdrawn from the TFSA in one year creates new room in the following year. To determine your TFSA contribution room, please visit the Canada Revenue Agency login page to access your account. The information can also be found on your most recent Notice of Assessment.
