TFSA Limit Rising to $5,500 in 2013
Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSA’s) have become an exceedingly valuable savings tool for many Canadians. On November 26th 2012, the federal government announced that, beginning January 1, 2013, the annual TFSA contribution limit will raise from $5,000 to $5,500.
For someone who has never opened a TFSA before and was at least 18 in 2009, this means that your total cumulative TFSA contribution room starting January 1, 2013 will be $25,500.
More information on TFSA’s can be found here.
Voluntary Deferral of the Old Age Security Pension
The 2012 Federal budget has introduced measures to defer the receipt of OAS pension.
Starting July 1, 2013, an individual will be able to defer receipt of their OAS pension for up to five years, thereby allowing them to receive an enhanced benefit in later years.
For every year that an individual chooses to defer their OAS pension, they will receive an enhanced monthly benefit of 0.6% per month of deferral or 7.2% for a full year of deferral. The annual enhanced percentage for the maximum deferral of 5 years will therefore be 36%. This percentage will then be applied to the benefit for the rest of the individual’s life.
The voluntary deferral of OAS pension will be attractive to those individuals who continue to work and are in a higher bracket at the time of eligibility. Deferral of OAS pension will eliminate the total or partial claw back for the 5 year period.
More information regarding this can be found here.
