Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs)
TFSAs allow you to grow your savings tax-free. Contributions to a TFSA are not tax-deductible, but any income earned within the account, including interest, dividends, and capital gains, is tax-free. Withdrawals from a TFSA are also tax-free, providing you with flexibility and potential tax savings.
Benefits of TFSAs:
• Tax-free growth on investments
• Flexible withdrawals without tax penalties
• No age limit for contributions
Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs)
RRSPs are a popular choice for retirement savings in Canada. Contributions to an RRSP are tax-deductible, which can reduce your taxable income. The investments within the RRSP grow tax-deferred until withdrawal, typically during retirement when you may be in a lower tax bracket.
Benefits of RRSPs:
• Tax-deductible contributions
• Tax-deferred growth on investments
• Wide range of investment options
Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs)
A Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) is a type of tax-deferred retirement account available in Canada. It is designed to provide retirees with a steady stream of income. A RRIF is often created by converting a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) by the end of the year in which the holder turns 71. An RRIF allows retirees to manage their retirement income while continuing to benefit from tax-deferred growth on their investments.
Here are key points about a RRIF:
• Withdrawals are mandatory: Each year, account holders are required to withdraw a minimum amount, which increases as they age. The withdrawal is considered taxable income.
• Investment growth: Like an RRSP, investments within a RRIF can continue to grow tax-free until they are withdrawn.
• Flexibility: While there is a minimum withdrawal requirement, there is no maximum, so holders can choose to withdraw more if desired.
