A Tax-Free First Home Savings Account (FHSA) is a registered account that combines the tax advantages of an RRSP and a TFSA, making it the best savings account for first-time homebuyers and building your down payment savings. You can contribute up to $8,000 annually, with a maximum lifetime contribution of $40,000. Contributions are tax-deductible, which can reduce your taxable income, and withdrawals from your tax-free savings account for first-time homebuyers remain tax-free as long as they are used to purchase a qualifying first home.
