FHSA Tax Savings in Newfoundland and Labrador

Your FHSA tax savings depend on your marginal tax rate—the rate you pay on your last dollar of income. Newfoundland and Labrador uses a progressive provincial tax structure with a top marginal rate of 21.8%. Combined federal + provincial rates in Newfoundland and Labrador range from roughly 25% to over 50% depending on income. A $8,000 FHSA contribution could save you between about $2,000 and $4,000+ in taxes, depending on your bracket.

FHSA contributions are deductible like RRSP contributions. They reduce your taxable income at your marginal rate. Growth inside the FHSA is tax-free, and qualifying withdrawals for a first home are tax-free. It combines RRSP and TFSA benefits for home buyers.
