Tax-Free Savings Accounts

Definition

Tax-Free Savings Accounts are investment vehicles that permit individuals to save and invest money without incurring taxes on investment income, capital gains, or withdrawals. These accounts are typically subject to contribution limits and specific eligibility criteria set by governmental authorities. They provide a significant advantage for long-term wealth accumulation by allowing earnings to grow unburdened by tax obligations. The regulatory framework surrounding these accounts dictates what types of assets can be held within them. They are a common tool for personal financial planning.
