What is a Tax-Free First Home Savings Account (FHSA)? 

  • A new tax-advantaged account designed to help Canadians save for their first down payment.
  • Combines the power of the TFSA and RRSP to help first time home buyers. Think of it as a hybrid!
  • Contributions to the FHSA are tax deductible, while withdrawals are tax-free, giving you the best of both worlds while investing for your home purchase.
  • Contribute up to $8,000 per year once opened, up to a lifetime maximum of $40,000

Who is eligible to to open a FHSA? 

  • Canadians between the ages of 18 and 71.
  • Those who have not lived in a home that they or their partner have owned in the current calendar year or any of the previous 4 calendar years.
  • Those saving for their first purchase of a qualifying home in Canada.
