The FHSA won’t make housing more affordable, but it’s a great account for savers
From a tax standpoint, this account is useful since you get a tax break on contributions and withdrawals.Article content
You could take a chance and invest in riskier products such as individual stocks, but it may not be worth it. Your investments could possibly go up 20 per cent by the time you’re ready to buy a home. However, your stocks also have a chance of falling 20 per cent. Most people saving for a down payment don’t want to risk their funds, so the tax-free capital gains will have a minimal impact.
That said, the HBP is still useful since many people will naturally start saving for their retirement as soon as they can. If you have the funds available in your RRSP, and you want to buy a home, then using the HBP is not a bad idea. One thing to note. Once you open an FHSA, you have 15 years to use it. If you haven’t used it by that time, you can transfer it to your RRSP or Registered Retirement Income Fund . The RRSP contribution room you have available doesn’t matter as FHSA transfers don’t count toward it.The FHSA can be beneficial to all savers, since it’s another account that gives you a tax break.
