Another New Year is here. This also means you can top up again into the TFSA accounts with an additional $5500.
A reminder to myself that I still need to top up!
Current TFSA Contribution Limits for the Year:
2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 was $5,000.
2013 and 2014 was $5,500.
2015 was $10,000
2016 is $5,500
Background notes for TFSA:
The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) program began in 2009. It is a way
for individuals who are 18 and older and who have a valid social
insurance number to set money aside tax-free
throughout their lifetime. Contributions to a TFSA are not deductible
for income tax purposes. Any amount contributed as well as any income
earned in the account (for example, investment income and capital gains)
is generally tax-free, even when it is withdrawn. Administrative or
other fees in relation to TFSA and any interest or money borrowed to
contribute to a TFSA are not deductible.
