RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Same kind fear two months agoRock, re. "You can trade away in the TFSA" - IMO it should be as simple as that. But this FP article from Dec 1014 casts doubt as to whether trading too successfully or frequently is safe: ["Tax-free savings accounts, created just five years ago by the Harper government as a tool that would allow Canadians to grow retirement investments while sheltered from capital gains taxes, are increasingly being challenged by Canada Revenue Agency auditors targeting investors that show large gains in their account. The CRA is also hitting investors with audits if they trade too frequently for the agencys comfort. The CRA has argued that investors who use their TFSAs for frequent trading and earn large gains are effectively running a trading business, and should be taxed on income. The sudden growth in CRA scrutiny has triggered concern from the Investment Industry Association of Canada, which recently complained of insufficient guidelines for TFSA investors to determine whether theyve run afoul of tax rules, in a letter to the Finance Department and the director general of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)."] https://business.financialpost.com/personal-finance/tfsa/canadians-with-too-many-wins-in-their-tfsa-being-targetted-by-cra?__lsa=1028-8382
