(NC) Still wondering how to use a Tax-Free Savings Account to your best advantage?
“When you're starting a family, setting financial priorities can be a challenge,” said Tannis Dawson, a tax and financial planning expert with Investors Group. “A TFSA is a flexible way to save and minimize your taxes at the same time.”
Dawson offers these TFSA tips for young families:
Save for emergencies and large short term expenses like a vehicle, vacation or home down payment without having to liquidate investments and paying taxes on the income.
Save for a home in addition to or instead of the RRSP Home Buyers Plan.
Save for education in addition to or instead of non-registered savings, the RRSP Lifelong Learning Plan or RESPs.
Save for your children: as a parent, you retain control of TFSA funds and when to disburse them.
Save to start a business: TFSAs are a tax-effective way to save the initial equity you need and can be used as security for bank financing.
Save for retirement in addition to your RRSP contributions.
