IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT TFSA:

  • The TFSA allows Canadian residents who are 18 years of age or older with a valid Canadian social insurance number to set money aside tax-free during their lifetime.
  • Contributions to a TFSA are not deductible for income tax purposes. However, any amount contributed as well as any income generated in the account (for example, investment income and capital gains) is generally tax-free, even when it is withdrawn.
  • An individual can only contribute up to their TFSA contribution room.
  • Unused TFSA contribution room can be carried forward to later years.
  • The total amount of TFSA withdrawals in a calendar year is added to the TFSA contribution room for the next calendar year.
  • You can contribute up to your TFSA contribution room. A tax applies to all contributions exceeding your TFSA contribution room.
  • TFSA assets can be transferred to a spouse upon death.
