Hand Receiving Two Coins and Coin Going into Piggy Bank

​Worry-free withdrawals

Withdrawals don’t affect your eligibility for federal income-tested benefits.

Consider a TFSA if...

  • You’ve maxed out your RRSP
  • You need a down payment for a home or vehicle (a TFSA withdrawal doesn’t have to be repaid)
  • You want to build an emergency fund
  • You might need access to your savings before retirement
  • You’re a low-income senior
    • Since tax-free TFSA withdrawals won’t be added to your income, they won’t trigger any reductions in Old Age Security benefits or the Guaranteed Income Supplement.
  • You’re married or have a common-law partner
    • TFSA holders can name their spouse as a beneficiary and roll the proceeds over to them upon their death.
