What Is TFSA?

TFSA Facts

  • Tax-free withdrawals
  • No age limit
  • Contribution limits are not determined by income
  • No impact on government benefits
  • Spouses (and common-law partners) can give each other monies to contribute to their own TFSA without triggering attribution rules. TFSA assets can be transferred to a spouse tax-free upon death.
