Tax-Free Savings Accounts

Accelerate your savings for any goal with tax-free growth, flexible contribution room and ways to invest that fit your unique needs.

Achieve your financial goals faster with tax-free investing

 

Use it for any savings goal

Be it a vacation, an emergency fund or income for your retirement, use your TFSA for next year – or down the road.

Easy access when you need it

Withdraw your money when you need to, without paying taxes or fees – and get your contribution room back for future years.

Growth, minus capital gains tax

You contribute with after-tax dollars, so you can benefit from tax-free growth on your investment returns.
 
 
  • TFSAs can be used to save for any goal you choose.
  • Contributions are not tax deductible.
  • You don’t pay tax on capital gains or other investment income.  
  • Any Canadian aged 18 or older can save and invest using a TFSA.
  • You don’t have to earn income to be able to contribute.
  • You earn contribution room without having to file a tax return. 
  • Contribution limits vary by year.
  • Unused contribution amounts can be carried forward to future years.
  • You’re charged a penalty for contributing more than your limit.
 
  • Contribution limits are indexed to inflation and increase every few years.
  • If you were 18 years old or older in 2009, your maximum contribution limit for 2023 is $88,000.
