How your TFSA contribution room is determined
As of January 2015, the annual TFSA dollar limit is no longer indexed based on inflation.
The TFSA contribution room is made up of:
- your TFSA dollar limit plus indexation;
- any unused TFSA contribution room from the previous year; and
- any withdrawals made from the TFSA in the previous year.
An individual will not accumulate TFSA contribution room for any year during which the individual is a non-resident of Canada throughout the entire year.
The TFSA dollar limit is not prorated in the year an individual:
- turns 18 years old;
- dies; or
- becomes a resident or a non-resident of Canada.
