First Home Savings Account Strategy
An FHSA can help eligible first-time home buyers save for a qualifying home purchase with tax-deductible contributions and tax-free withdrawals.
A Powerful Account for First-Time Home Buyers
The FHSA combines features of an RRSP and TFSA. Contributions may reduce taxable income, while qualifying withdrawals for a first home can be tax-free.
Home Purchase Goal
Designed to help eligible Canadians save specifically for a qualifying first home purchase.
Tax-Deductible Contributions
Eligible contributions may reduce taxable income, similar to RRSP contributions.
Tax-Free Growth
Investment growth inside the account may be tax-free when used for an eligible home purchase.
Account Coordination
FHSA planning should be coordinated with RRSPs, TFSAs, cash flow, and home purchase timelines.
What Should Be Reviewed?
FHSA planning is about more than opening an account. Contribution room, timing, investment risk, home purchase goals, and RRSP/TFSA coordination all matter.
