A Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is a registered savings account that lets you grow and withdraw your money tax-free, making it a great option when saving for short and long-term financial goals. The TFSA was introduced by the Government of Canada in 2009 to help Canadian residents that are 18 years or older save money tax-free.

Benefits of TFSAs Tax-free growth and withdrawals

You pay no tax on qualified investment income that you earn in your TFSA and you can withdraw funds from your TFSA without paying tax.

Not just a savings account

Your TFSA can hold a variety of qualified investments, including cash, stocks, guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) and mutual funds.

A flexible way to save

Withdrawing from your TFSA does not mean permanently losing your contribution room. When you withdraw money from your TFSA, the total amount withdrawn is added back to your contribution room the following year.

Comfort and convenience

A TFSA offers you the flexibility to save for various short-term and long-term goals, usually, with easy access to your money depending on the type of investment you hold.

A tax free savings account, or TFSA, is a registered plan that many Canadians who are 18 years or older turn to, largely because of its flexibility. I wouldn't blame you if you thought this was just the savings account. It's also an investing account. In fact, it's a great way to build towards both short and long term goals.

You can buy a variety of investments like stocks and ETFs, mutual funds, bonds, and even certain options. And at TD Direct Investing, you can invest in both Canadian and US dollar components within your TFSA.

Speaker 1

Contributions are made with after tax dollars. That is, the amount of employment or business income remaining once government taxes have been paid. But like the name suggests, any investment gains, dividends and interest earn can then grow in the TFSA account. Tax free

a TFSA also lets you contribute funds at any time, but there are yearly contribution limits to be aware of, and going over these limits may result in penalties from the CRA.

When the federal government introduced the TFSA in 2009. They did it to encourage Canadians to start saving early and often. The contribution limit can change from year to year. This year, the limit is $6,000. One great thing about the TFSA is that if you don't contribute the yearly maximum, whatever room you have left over can be carried into the next year.

In fact, any unused contribution room will automatically accumulate, even if you didn't contribute anything at all to a TFSA in past years. What this means is, if you are 18 or older in 2009 and never use this account type before, you can contribute a lump sum of $69,500 for this 2020 calendar year. And if you can't contribute this much in one shot, you can always set up a monthly contribution plan to automate your savings.

You can also withdraw funds at any time. Of course, this is subject to any restrictions in the investments you've chosen. This account allows you to contribute withdrawn funds, which provides additional room for you to contribute in later years. But keep in mind that if you want to contribute an amount that you just took out and you also do not have additional contribution room for that current year, you can do so at the start of the following year, putting the withdrawal amount back into the account in the same year.

If you do not have any more contribution, room would result in penalties from the CRA. Visit the CRA website to learn more about this account and to find out how much you can contribute today. As you can see, a TFSA offers a lot of flexibility to Canadian investors. You can grow your investments tax free, pay, no tax on withdrawals, and catch up on any unused contribution room.

To open an account, visit our website and get started with just a few clicks.
