A Tax-Free Savings Account is an account where contributions are made with after-tax dollars and withdrawals are tax-free. This means that investments can grow in the account and be withdrawn at any time without being taxed. Anyone who is over the age of 18 — even those without an income, or those over the age of 71, who are ineligible to contribute to their RRSP — can contribute.
