Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA)

Why Choose

Tomorrow's Wealth Today’s Smart Choice

The flexibility of withdrawing savings for certain unplanned expenses can be buying a car or travelling to a preferred destination; the T.F.S.A. is an investment of choice.
Low-income investors who fall in a lower tax bracket may start saving in a T.F.S.A. and thus accumulate enough to contribute to an RRSP later when their income grows, and their need to save tax is more significant.

Canadians at least 18 and with a valid social insurance number are eligible to open a tax-free account. There is no maximum age by which the T.F.S.A must be closed.

Funds for the rainy days: The flexibility to withdraw as when and as much in the account without triggering taxes makes it an investment of choice.
Supplement and an alternative investment strategy: People who maxed out their contribution limits in R.R.S.P.’s can further invest in T.F.S.A to get tax-free growth on their money. Individuals falling in low-income tax brackets can look to invest in T.F.S.A tax-free growth as an alternative to R.R.S.P.
Help parents save extra for a child’s higher education: The rising cost of higher education may not be sufficiently met through savings in R.E.S.P. The T.F.S.A is another tool for parents to save and grow their money tax-free. They can use this money to fund their children’s education as it’s convenient for them to take out the money as much and when needed.
One-stop Shop: Saving for a car, funding children’s higher education, spending on vacations, planning to buy a house, saving for retirement, or passing on as a legacy, T.F.S.A can be used as a multi-purpose saving platform.
Contribution to Spousal T.F.S.A: The T.F.S.A cannot be set up as a spousal plan; however, contributions can be made to the T.F.S.A of a spouse without income attribution implications.
Loan: The T.F.S.A can be used as collateral for a loan.

Funds can be withdrawn from a T.F.S.A. At any time and for any purpose, withdrawals will typically not trigger tax implications.
The amount of eligible withdrawals made from an account in a given year is added back to the holder’s contribution room at the beginning of the following year.
With a T.F.S.A., neither income earned within the account nor withdrawals from the account typically carry any tax implications. Consequently, withdrawals can generally be made without concern.
