What is a FHSA?

- You nor your spouse have ever owned a home where you lived this year or in the past four calendar years.

How does the FHSA work?
Like an RRSP, contributions to a FHSA are tax-deductible. So, if you contribute $8,000, the same amount can be deducted from your taxable earnings.
If you are making a qualified withdrawal, you won't pay tax on that withdrawal. Like a TFSA, this includes principal and potential growth compared to a RRSP in which all withdrawals are subject to income tax. This saves you more money towards your new home!
