Tax Efficiency:
Both RAs and TFSAs boast significant tax advantages, though their benefits and limitations vary. RAs allow for tax-deductible contributions and tax-free growth, with taxation applied only upon withdrawal, offering a structured approach to retirement savings. Conversely, TFSAs provide flexibility with tax-free growth and withdrawals, complementing retirement planning with accessible, tax-efficient savings.
Strategic Contributions:
Maximising contributions to these instruments, within legislated limits, can significantly enhance retirement readiness. The distinction in accessibility and tax treatment between RAs and TFSAs underscores the importance of strategic allocation based on individual financial goals and circumstances.
