 How the TFSA Works 

We have given you a way to easily add a double lined border plus “float” your image to either the left or right of the page so that your text smoothly flows around your pictures.

  • Contributions to a TFSA will not be deductible for income tax purposes but investment income, including capital gains, earned in a TFSA will not be taxed, even when withdrawn.  
  • Unused TFSA contribution room can be carried forward to future years.   \
  • You can withdraw funds from the TFSA at any time for any purpose.  
  • The amount withdrawn can be put back in the TFSA at a later date without reducing your contribution room.
  • Neither income earned in a TFSA nor withdrawals will affect your eligibility for federal income-tested benefits and credits.  
  • Contributions to a spouse’s TFSA will be allowed and TFSA assets can be transferred to a spouse upon death.
