    This is helpful, but could you do one for RRSP?
    Have a question about provincial and federal personal limits. I’m 42 and retired. Could I theoretically withdraw within my personal limits and not get taxed?

  • @zakomama6430
    @zakomama6430 Місяць тому +1

    My question is kinda similar to one of the questions you covered but in reverse. If I have to withdraw money from my investment account, is it better to transfer it straight from my RRSP or should I transfer the money from my RRSP to my TFSA then withdraw what I need from there.

  • @Thebignagro

    What happens if deflation occurs like the great recession again, how would future contribution room look like, could we theoretically loose contribution room????

  • @roberttaylor3594
    @roberttaylor3594 Місяць тому

    Q1: I'm not sure if I am doing the right thing, but I add the equivalent amount to my RRSP to offset the tax I will have to pay on rental income I earn. In fact, I have been transferring stocks from TFSA into my RRSP to do that, but only things like DOL or DIS that need to be left alone, nothing that generates a high dividend or disbursement. I expect I will be able to organise the RRSP withdraw or conversion into a RRIF in later years, but I will let 'future rob' figure that out.

    This is an excellent video, man. Really informative and answers a lot of relevant points clearly about the TFSA to someone new to investing like me. I have a question though - I am a fairly new citizen to Canada (citizen 2024/ resident since 2019) does my contribution space start from my resident status or when I turned 18 (incidentally, 2009) cheers!

    why would we invest in RRSP if only can redeem after 72? instead keep in non registered account and access whenever you want?

  • @HardBassKier
    @HardBassKier Місяць тому +1

    I posted this on blossom with no responses. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Im a new investor of a little over a month. I've been actively learning as much as I can, but I've come across a question I can't seem to find on google or youtube.
    My main holding for my TFSA is XEQT and a few mining stocks while I learn the ropes of buying individual shares of a company.
    Obviously, my RRSP is long-term/ retirement, im 31 years of age and have roughly 34 years to go before retirement.
    I am wondering if the best move is just XEQT in there as well, or to hold something else like VGRO.
    Would I want to hold the same stocks in my RRSP/TFSA or have different long-term holds for each one.
    Thank you for your input.

    • @Thebignagro
      @Thebignagro Місяць тому

      I would think that you would want questionable "volatile" stocks in a rrsp than a tfsa because you have a fixed cap on contribution room in your tfsa, if that stock becomes a dud your contribution room can't come back

  • @sanjayrastogi5333
    @sanjayrastogi5333 Місяць тому

    How can I find the total contributions I have made through the years. Or how can I find how much more room of contribution I have left to max out. Is there a government site I can check.

    • @Thebignagro
      @Thebignagro Місяць тому

      CRA website but make sure it's a new calendar year to check because investment firms or banks put in your statements near the end of the year that's why it's best to wait till the new calendar 📅 year for a more accurate reading

  • @will_preto
    @will_preto Місяць тому

    Can you transfer investments into stocks from a taxable account into a tfsa without selling and rebuying the holding? (Provided that you have contribution room)

    • @beaviswealth
      @beaviswealth  Місяць тому +2

      Be careful with this... yes, you can transfer funds in-kind, but if there are any gains on the shares you transfer, the CRA will treat them as realized, and you'll need to pay tax on that gain. If there is a loss.... well, CRA doesn't allow you to claim that loss. Generally, this would not be a good idea. If you're unsure, consult with your accountant before doing this.

    Hi, If I have a TFSA account and then I move to another country. What will happen to my TFSA if I keep it open? Can I still contribute while outside of Canada? Or do I have to close it altogether? Thank you in advance.

    • @Thebignagro
      @Thebignagro Місяць тому +1

      You can still use your tfsa but you won't get any new contribution room for future years

  • @26pearlpearl
    @26pearlpearl 29 днів тому

    I'm British and a new resident in Canada. I have almost maxed my contribution for the year. Do I get a cumulative total of 95k as well?

    • @definitelymaeby
      @definitelymaeby 25 днів тому +1

      No, looking at a chart like the one he brought up re: yearly contribution room, you would only look at/add up the years you're eligible (eligibility details are on the CRA website). I'm Canadian and have lived here my entire life, but I'm not eligible for the full 95k because I did not turn 18 until 2012, so the "contribution room" for years 2009-2011 I would not be eligible for, and I have to deduct those years of contribution room from my eligible total.

  • @liamcolton4625
    @liamcolton4625 Місяць тому

    To add to blowing up your TFSA and losing your contribution room. The next year when you gain contribution room say you max it again and double your investment and pull out 100% of your TFSA. Do you get 100% of the contribution room back or old 50%?

    • @Thebignagro
      @Thebignagro Місяць тому

      You get the 100 percent, if you have 1mill in your tfsa and cash it all out the next year you get your 1million back and next year's 7k or whatever they set the increase to

    • @carloscanizares4699

      You technically can, but the nature of options trading means doing it multiple times a day. Have fun speaking with the CRA about it, especially if you profit.

    If I withdraw $150k from my TFSA, would I then be able to put $150k back in the following year, or just the total contribution room at the time (currently $95k).

    • @willkeen5010
      @willkeen5010 Місяць тому +4

      If your current TSA is worth 150, if you remove it in this calendar year, yes, you can contribute the 150 next year along with the 7000 of new contribution room

  • @elibennett3034
    @elibennett3034 Місяць тому

    I'm surprised you didn't speak to exclusions. It actually addresses the issue of business stocks. You are not allowed to hold in a tsfa any business that is run by you or someone you are close with.
    You are explicitly forbidden from using tsfa money to fund your business, unless you that money remove it from the tfsa first.
    I don't think they want people to have that level of control over the p&l of the assets held in their tfsa, LOL
