Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP)
The Home Buyer’s Plan is a program allowing you to withdraw up to $25,000 from your RRSP to buy or build a qualifying home. You must be considered a first-time homebuyer and intend to occupy the qualifying home within a year after buying or building it. Withdrawals that meet all of the plan’s conditions will not be included in your income and your RRSP issuer will not withhold tax on these withdrawals. This is available to both you and your spouse, providing up to $50,000 of tax free dollars. The amount withdrawn must be paid back to your RRSP within a period of no more than 15 years.
