Trending news this week is the debate about the affordability to long-term tax revenues and ultimately the Canadian economy of raising the Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) annual contribution limit.

In light of the upcoming Federal Budget and the previous Conservative government campaign promise to double the annual Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) contribution limit upon balancing the Federal budget, the debate rages on about the overall tax payer coffer effectively further financing the wealthy by reducing overall tax revenues into the long term future.

Keep the Focus on Your Personal Situation

Whether or not you agree with an increase to the TFSA contribution limit or are contrarily against the idea as many of the financial news pundits have opined this week, what’s important is that TFSAs are here to stay and how the utilization of a TFSA can benefit your personal balance sheet.

To be clear, as this is often misunderstood, TFSAs are a mirror-image of an RRSP. Nearly any investment that can be held in an RRSP can be held in a TFSA, with only minor exceptions.

The Big Benefit to You

The reason you’ll want to bulk up your TFSA vs your RRSP is simple: tax free withdrawals.

Tax free access to your investment assets is the most crucial element of the withdrawal stage of your Retirement Plan.
