How Do Tax-free Savings Accounts Work?

No tax on investment returns

The investment return earned on a tax-free savings account is not taxed. The longer you invest, the higher the investment return on your investment and the bigger the tax saving you get. Tax-free savings accounts offer different investment options to suit your objectives and risk profile.

It assumes an investment in a balanced fund with a return of inflation plus 4% per year before fees, and a personal tax rate of 40%. These values are not guaranteed and are for illustrative purposes only.
