What is RESPs? RESPs are Registered Education Savings Plans that permit savings to grow tax-free until the beneficiary is ready to go to college, university, or any other eligible post-secondary educational institution. The child is also eligible for a Grant from the Government of Canada - 20% or $400 per year whichever is lower. When the student begins to use the RESP for education, the income accumulated on the subscriber contributions and the grant, as well as the grant itself, becomes taxable. However, because the student typically has little other income, he or she effectively pays little or no tax on RESP income. The Government of Canada has made Registered Education
Savings Plans (RESPs) a clear choice for families wishing to save for
their children's future education costs.
