First Home Savings Account
Have you seen the cost of houses these days? Help is on the way!
Save for your down payment and pay less tax
RRSPs are for retirement. RESPs are for education. And now FHSAs are for home buying. Launched in 2023, FHSAs help you accumulate a down payment with tax-free growth, tax-free withdrawals to buy your first home, and tax-deductible contributions.
Features:
- Contribute up to $8,000 a year
- Lifetime contribution limit of $40,000
- Get a tax deduction for contributions
- Pay no tax on growth
- Pay no tax on qualifying withdrawals
- Invest in mutual funds, term deposits and more!
Quick tip
Do I qualify to open an FHSA?
To be a first-time home buyer and qualify to open an FHSA, you can’t have owned a home this year or in any of the previous four years. You must also be age 19 (in BC) to 71 and a Canadian resident with a valid social insurance number (SIN).
Investment planning
How can I invest my FHSA savings?
In general, investments that qualify for other registered accounts, such as TFSAs and RRSPs, also qualify for FHSAs — including term deposits and mutual funds. If you’re buying term deposits, make sure you choose terms that will give you access to your money when you need it. If you’re buying mutual funds, make sure you pick ones that suit the time you have before you need to withdraw your money.Home savings advice
