Alfred’s tip
The amounts reimbursed through the PSA are taxable benefits (both provincial and federal) in all provinces.
Alfred’s tip
The list seems very comprehensive, and it really is! You can use the PSA to pay for your babysitter, your bus pass, your teen’s athletic gear, your fitness app and so much more. If you have flex dollars left, take advantage of them!
Alfred’s tip
Did all your flex dollars go toward paying for your insurance coverage options? If you'd prefer to allocate some of your flex dollars to lifestyle or savings options instead, you can choose to increase your payroll contributions to cover a greater portion of your premiums.
