Talk:Tax-Free Savings Account

Comparison
As I read through this article, I'm wondering what value the Offerings and Comparison sections add. From the history, they were added back in 2009 when TFSAs were still in their infancy and not much was known about who would offer them and how. Do these sections still have relevance? --Peculiar Investor 14:01, 17 February 2012 (MST)
 * Anyone? Tagging article with CleanupNeeded and plan to remove list of financial institutions and image of Carrick's article unless someone strongly objects.--Peculiar Investor 12:58, 26 November 2012 (MST)
 * I've deleted the whole comparison section as it was based on a six year old (out of date) G&M article, and the RFD link is broken. Here it is:

Fees for RRSPs and TFSAs from various suppliers have been compared by Rob Carrick.

When comparing institutions, check very carefully. Start first with your objectives. For example, if you wish to use a pre-authorized purchase plan(PPP) to invest $25/month into TD Monthly Income, you will not be able to use RBC because RBC only offers a $25 PPP on RBC funds. And the product offered by a brokerage may not have the same fee structure as that of the same institution's bank. For example, although both allow one free withdrawal per month, TDWaterhouse charges $25/withdrawal thereafter while TD Canada Trust charges $5/withdrawal thereafter.

"Should this page be moved to lower case?"

Any thoughts?


 * Per the Manual of Style, Article titles should use sentence case and therefore I concur. Peculiar Investor 09:13, 24 November 2013 (MST)
 * Upon further review, a number of Canadian government sites that I checked (Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA), The Tax-Free Savings Account and RC4466 - Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA), Guide for Individuals) seem to consistently use Tax-Free Savings Account as the proper name. I did find some minor inconsistencies where government sites used all lower case. The Wikipedia article (Tax-Free Savings Account - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) is also capitalized. Need to research a bit further before making any other changes to the article title. --Peculiar Investor 19:02, 24 November 2013 (MST)

Wikipedia is not an authoritative source. However, it references the CRA (Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA)) which is consistent with your findings. --LadyGeek 21:44, 24 November 2013 (MST)
