Savvy Retail Investor Gail Bebee Applauds New Tax-Free Savings Account
New budget measure will put money in the average Canadian’s pocket
Toronto, Feb. 27 – Financial industry outsider and personal finance author Gail P. Bebee believes that the 2008 federal budget delivers an important new savings and tax reduction tool to Canadians.
Says Bebee: “The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) embodies the investing principles in my new book No Hype –The Straight Goods on Investing Your Money: it encourages people to save and it reduces the taxes Canadians pay on their investing profits. I like the fact that all types of investment income can grow tax free inside the TFSA – dividends, capital gains and especially interest income given its relatively high rate of taxation. The $5000 annual contribution limit is relatively low, but the value of the tax savings will grow over time. My main concern with this new program is how much the financial institutions will charge investors to administer these accounts. ”
Bebee is available to speak with the media about the 2008 federal budget and its impact on retail investors. For further information, or to arrange an interview, please contact:
