What is an RESP?
A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a government assisted education savings account used to help individuals and families save for post-secondary education. The owner of the account, known as the subscriber, makes contributions to the RESP and must have a valid Social Insurance Number (SIN) when the account is opened.
RESP contributions are non-tax-deductible deposits that are subject to a lifetime limit of $50,000 per beneficiary. All contributions you make to the RESP belong to you. Government incentives and income earned in the RESP are sheltered from tax until they become available to the beneficiary when an Educational Assistance Payment (EAP) is made on their behalf. Although the EAP withdrawal is taxable income to the student, the good news is that they are usually in a low tax bracket resulting in little to no tax paid on the EAP withdrawal.
