What is a first home savings account? It’s a registered account with tax-saving opportunities. But there’s more.
The federal government introduced a new account in its 2022 budget as a measure to help first-time home buyers save up for a down payment: The first home savings account (FHSA). It is a registered account meant to help Canadians who are saving up for a down payment. Any deposits and withdrawals you make with an FHSA are tax-free, including any income you earn from interest, dividends or capital gains, as long as it is used eventually toward buying a home. It will be available in 2023 (so, more news to come).
Here’s how it will work: The FHSA has a contribution room of $8,000 per year, up to a lifetime maximum of $40,000, and unused FHSA contribution room can be carried forward to the following year, up to a maximum of $8,000. So if you contribute $5,000 one year, you would be allowed to contribute up to $11,000 the following year.
Also, if you don’t buy a home after 15 years of opening an FHSA, you must move the money and investments into an RRSP or a registered retirement income fund (RRIF), unless you withdraw and pay taxes on the amount as income.
Example:
“I’ve decided to save with an FHSA instead of an RRSP at this point, since I’m hoping to buy my first home in a few years.”
