TAX-FREE SAVINGS ACCOUNT
Grow Your Money Tax Free
The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) allows Canadian residents age 18 or older to set money aside in elgible investment vehicles. You get to watch those savings grow with interest and/or dividends and/or capital gains tax free.
Contribution Room
You can make regular contributions to your TFSA throughout the year without needing to have an earned income. However, it is your responsibility to make sure you do not go over your maximum yearly contribution limit. Any over-contributions are subject to penalties and interest. The Canadian Revenue Agency sets the yearly contrubition limit. Unused contribution room is accumulated every year to a maximum limit. Any withdrawls from your account will be added back as contribution room in the next year.
