RRSP withdrawal qualifications under the Federal Home Buyers Program (HBP)

Did you know....Home buyers who qualify for a RRSP withdrawal under the Home Buyers Program (HBP):
  • have up to 30 days after closing to withdraw funds from their RSP;
  • don't need to use all the funds towards the down payment (money can be used for closing costs, home renos etc);
  • are allowed a maximum withdrawal of $20,000/ qualified home buyer;
  • have 15 years to repay their RSP; & Revenue Canada helps keep accounting straight by providing a statement on the annual Notice of Assessment outlining repayment requirements.

Of course, when there is a tax implication, it's always prudent for the client to review the regulations with Revenue Canada.... http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/individuals/topics/rrsp/hbp/menu-e.html
