Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) Basics

 

The RBC Tax-Free Savings Account is a versatile investment account that lets you save for any short- or long-term goal—without being taxed on your investment earnings or when you withdraw funds.

For example, you can use your TFSA to save for a new car, home renovations, a vacation, an unplanned emergency, your retirement and more.
