Tax Free Savings Account

The new Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is a flexible way for Canadians to save money, tax-free.

How it works:
  • The income generated in the TFSA is tax-free when withdrawn.
  • Contributions to a TFSA and the interest on money borrowed to invest in a TFSA are NOT tax deductible.
  • Canadian residents age 18 or older can contribute up to $5,000 annually to a TFSA.
  • Unused TFSA contribution room is carried forward and accumulates in future years.
  • The TFSA complements existing registered savings plans like the Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP) and the Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP).
  • TFSA assets can generally be transferred to a spouse upon death.
