A: The tax-free advantage only applies to savings and long-term investing. If the CRA determines your trading activity qualifies as "carrying on a business" — based on factors like trade frequency, holding period, and your professional background — all gains can be reassessed as fully taxable business income. Ahamed v. The King (2023 TCC 17) is a leading example, where $15,000 grew to $617,000 over three years and was reassessed entirely. Q: How is the TFSA over-contribution penalty calculated? A: The CRA charges 1% per month on the excess amount, calculated for each month the over-contribution remains in the account. If you over-contribute by $640,000 for one month, the penalty is $6,400. Left unaddressed for a year, the cumulative penalty reaches 12%. Always verify your room through CRA My Account, but cross-check against your own bank statements as the CRA dashboard isn't always real-time. Q: Do US dividend stocks in TFSA really get charged 15% withholding tax? A: Yes. The Canada-US Tax Treaty exemption only applies to RRSP and RRIF accounts. TFSA is not on the exempt list, so all US dividends are subject to the 15% withholding by the US government. If your strategy is high-dividend US stocks, hold them in your RRSP. Reserve your TFSA for growth assets or Canadian-domiciled equities. Q: What's the difference between Beneficiary and Successor Holder? A: A Beneficiary can be anyone, but on inheritance the TFSA closes and the funds transfer to the recipient's regular account, losing all accumulated room. A Successor Holder must be a spouse or common-law partner, and they inherit the entire TFSA account intact, including all accumulated room — without affecting their own contribution limits. For a spouse, the second option is far more valuable.
