Here’s an example to help demonstrate why the FHSA is an advantageous savings plan for homebuyers looking to purchase their first property.
Fictional example
Dwight is a single Quebec resident with no children earning a $50,000 annual salary. By contributing $8,000 annually to his FHSA starting in 2023, he’ll save a total of $2,122 in taxes for that same year.
In addition to allowing you to save up for a down payment while growing your funds by accumulating interest, the FHSA allows you to save on taxes every year you contribute.
