Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Conservative

  • Allow Canadians to contribute an extra $5,000/year to Tax-Free Savings Accounts, so long as the money supports Canadian companies

    "Nothing about Canadians’ existing TFSAs would change. The existing $7,000 limit would remain, but Canadians will now be able to contribute up to an additional $5,000 a year, if that money supports Canadian companies that employ Canadian workers and pay Canadian taxes. The tax system already defines Canadian investments, and a Poilievre government will create a definition that lets financial institutions and advisors label which stocks, mutual funds and other investments can go into your Canada First TFSA Top-Up." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

  • Remove the capital gains tax on sales of assets where the proceeds are reinvested in Canada until the end of 2026

    "Today, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced the Canada First Reinvestment Tax Cut. Any person or business selling an asset will pay no capital gains tax when they reinvest the proceeds in Canada. Companies that reinvest in active Canadian businesses will also defer any capital gains tax. These gains will still be taxed later on when investors cash out or move the money out of Canada. The break will be available on any reinvestments done until the end of 2026." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

    "The Canada First Reinvestment Tax Cut will be rocket fuel for our economy. It will incentivize investors—from small business owners, to farmers, to homebuilders—to reinvest and build things here in Canada. Canadians will have a powerful incentive to sell foreign investments and reinvest the proceeds, creating jobs in Canada. Because the break does not go to anyone moving money out of the country, investors will be strongly discouraged from moving money out of Canada. Instead, they will bring it home to build, invent, create, and hire here in Canada.” This tax cut will be available for any capital gains reinvested between July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026. But, if it causes a major economic boom, as expected, Conservatives will make it permanent." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

  • Permanently remove the capital gains tax on sales of assets when the proceeds are reinvested in Canada if the temporary removal is a success
