Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) Beginning in 2009, individuals 18 years of age and older* can contribute up to $5,000 per year to a TFSA where the holdings grow and earn income tax-free. The contribution limit was increased to $5,500 in 2013. The TFSA may be a suitable savings vehicle for you, depending on your specific financial plan. Given the tax-free nature of the investment income and flexibility regarding withdrawals and re-contributions, there are many options we could explore and take advantage of. The savings you build in the TFSA can be used at any time and for multiple purposes – it’s completely up to you! Whether you have short, medium or long-term savings goals, such as saving for a special purpose or supplementing your other tax sheltered plans, we can help determine the right solution for you.

For some jurisdictions (B.C., N.S., N.B., Nfld., Yukon, North West Territories, Nunavut) the age of majority is 19. |
