Your Complete Guide from Harpreet Rana Insurance Inc.

Tax-free saving and investing, with no taxes on earnings or withdrawals.

At Harpreet Rana Insurance Inc., we understand that building wealth requires smart financial planning. A Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is one of Canada's most powerful savings and investment tools, and we're here to help you maximize its potential for your financial future.

What is a TFSA?

A Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is a flexible savings and investment account that allows Canadians to earn tax-free investment income. Introduced in 2009, TFSAs have become an essential component of comprehensive financial planning.

• Tax-Free Growth: Investment income, including interest, dividends, and capital gains, is not taxed within the account.
• Annual Limits: Government-set annual contribution limits with unused contribution room carried forward indefinitely.
• Withdrawal Flexibility: Tax-free withdrawals with the ability to recontribute withdrawn amounts in future years.

Understanding Contribution Limits

Annual Limits

• The government sets annual contribution limits (for example, $6,500 in 2023).
• Limits may change yearly based on inflation and government policy.

Cumulative Contribution Room

• If you've been eligible since 2009 and never contributed, you may have accumulated substantial contribution room.
• We'll help calculate your exact available contribution space.

Withdrawal and Recontribution Strategy

• Smart Withdrawal Planning: Withdraw any amount anytime without tax consequences.
• Recontribution Timing: Withdrawn amounts can be recontributed starting the following calendar year.
• Avoid Penalties: Our team ensures you never over-contribute and face the 1% monthly penalty.

TFSA vs. RRSP: Making the Right Choice

• TFSA Advantages: No tax on contributions, no tax on withdrawals, maximum flexibility for any financial goal, access anytime without penalties.
• RRSP Advantages: Tax-deductible contributions reduce current taxable income, ideal for retirement savings with tax deferral benefits.

Our recommendation: Many clients benefit from using both accounts as part of a comprehensive financial strategy.
