The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) program began in 2009. It is a way for individuals who are 18 and older, and who have a valid social insurance number (SIN), to set money aside tax-free throughout their lifetime.
A Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is like a regular savings account, however the main difference is that a TFSA can be treated like a savings account or an investment account.
You can contribute up to the limit set for the year underway, regardless of your income. You may also carry forward any unused contribution amounts into future years. For 2025, the contribution room is $7,000.
(a) The income earned on your contributions to your TFSA is not taxable (like interest, dividends and capital gains).
(b) Withdrawals are not taxed and may be made at any time, which makes it an excellent emergency fund.
(c) Unused contribution room is carried over to the following year, which means that you can contribute more than your annual limit. IMPORTANT: Do not exceed your contribution limit for the year as this may lead to surprise tax charges. If you own more than one TFSA account, the limit applies to all accounts collectively.
(d) This is the ideal solution for your medium- and long-term savings projects, like a trip or the purchase of a new home or car.
(a) We have a wider variety of investment options that help us tailor your financial plan to meet your goals and risk tolerance.
(b) Our advisors hold the top financial industry designations, ensuring you are properly taken care of.
(b) We reach out at least once a year to review your investments, make changes if needed, and help you stay accountable to yourself and your financial plan.
(c) We are a close-knit team with a reputation for honesty, integrity, and great service.
