Tax-Free Savings

By now you have probably heard about the government's latest Registered Savings account.  It is called the Tax-Free Savings Account (or TFSA).

Beginning January, 2009, Canadians over the age of 18 can save up to $5,000 each year in a TFSA.  Interest earned in these accounts will not be taxable.   You will be able to withdraw funds from a TFSA at any time for any purpose.   Funds withdrawn, including interest,  increases the amount you may contribute to a TFSA in the following year.
