About TFSA’s

What is a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA)?

  • A TFSA allows Canadian residents who are 18 and older with a valid social insurance number to set money aside tax-free throughout their lifetime.
  • An individual can contribute up to their TFSA contribution room and the amount is not tied to their income.
  • Contributions are not tax deductible for income tax purposes.
  • Unused contribution room can be carried forward.
  • Withdrawals are not reported as taxable income and are not subject to income tax.
  • Withdrawals of contribution/earnings will increase contribution room for future years but not in the current year.
  • Withdrawals will not impact eligibility for federal income tested benefits and credits (e.g. OAS, GIS, Age Credit, GST, EI, child-tax benefit and working income tax benefit).
  • In the event of the holder’s death, any balance in a TFSA goes to their spouse, beneficiary or estate.

How do I get started with a TFSA?

TFSA Options

a

Variable Rate TFSA Plan

Equivalent to a savings account, with the ability to lock into a term at any time. A good choice if you may require use of your funds soon, or are not comfortable locking-in for a fixed term.

One Year Redeemable TFSA

Minimum deposit $500

A one year deposit, redeemable after 30 days without penalty. Your principal and interest are guaranteed, making this an ideal product to reach your short-term goals.

~

Fixed Rate TFSA Plan

Minimum deposit $500

Similar to a GIC. You choose a fixed term of 1 to 5 years and the interest rate is guaranteed for that term. An excellent choice if your goal is maximum growth of your savings!

Pre-Authorized Deposits

Minimum deposit $25

Maximize your money by depositing your TFSA contribution weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. The contributions will be invested in our Variable Rate Plan until the balance reaches $500 and can be switched to the Fixed Rate Plan upon request.
