2016 Tax Free Savings Accounts
Tax-free savings accounts are available for Canadian residents who are 18 years of age or older. The first tax year that they were available was 2009.
There is no deadline for contributions to a TFSA, as the unused contribution room is carried forward into the next year. However, a withdrawal in any year increases the TFSA room in the following calendar year. Thus, if you are thinking of making a withdrawal close to year end, make sure it is done by December 31st, in order to have the withdrawal amount added back to the TFSA room sooner.
