First Home Savings Account
For many Canadians, purchasing their first home is an important milestone. The First Home Savings Account (FHSA) offers a strategic solution to make this more achievable. Your members can make tax-deductible contributions of up to $8,000 per year (subject to a $40,000 lifetime limit), and can withdraw these funds tax-free when purchasing a home, resulting in substantial tax savings. Central 1 is pleased to offer the FHSA for credit unions and financial institutions.
