How TFSAs Work
TFSA contributions are not tax-deductible, but eligible growth and withdrawals are generally tax-free. This makes the TFSA one of Canada’s most flexible wealth-building accounts.
- Contribution room: annual limits plus unused room and eligible re-contribution room.
- Tax-free growth: eligible investment gains are sheltered from tax.
- Withdrawals: generally tax-free.
- Re-contribution: withdrawn amounts return to room the following January 1.
TFSA vs RRSP
A TFSA is often better for flexibility, tax-free withdrawals, emergency funds, medium-term goals, and long-term investing. An RRSP may be better when the tax deduction is valuable.
Compare this with the RRSP calculator, investment calculator, and investing guide.
Common TFSA Mistakes
- Contributing without checking available room.
- Re-contributing withdrawals too early.
- Using the TFSA only as a savings account when investing may fit long-term goals.
- Over-contributing and creating penalties.
- Ignoring the TFSA when building a retirement plan.
