What is a Tax-Free First Home Savings Account (FHSA) (aka First Time Home Buyer Savings Account)

The Canadian Government has proposed the introduction of the Tax-Free First Home Savings Account (FHSA) in the 2022 budget. This new registered plan would give prospective first-time home buyers the ability to save towards their first home by allowing account holders to contribute up to $40,000 over the lifetime of the plan on a tax-free basis.
