And what’s more, while you’re fulfilling your dream of owning a home, you’ll also be getting income tax refunds worth thousands of dollars. For spouses who work, these refunds can be between $10,000 and $21,000, which is quite sufficient to purchase your first home. The HBP allows each taxpayer to withdraw up to $20,000, tax-free, from their Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) to purchase a home.
