Download the guideYour registered education savings plan contributions grow tax-free. At withdrawal, grants and accrued income are taxed in the hands of the beneficiary. Your contributions are not taxable at withdrawal.
The return you could accumulate in an individual RESP is one of its greatest advantages! That’s because interest can accumulate not only on your contributions, but also on government grants. This increases the amount on which compounded returns are calculated, and the effect is exponential!
Regardless of family income, the eligible beneficiary is entitled to the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG), equivalent to 20% of contributions made during the year, and to the Quebec Education Savings Incentive (QESI), which adds another 10% (for Quebec residents).
In addition, depending on your adjusted family net income, you may also qualify for the Additional CESG and Additional QESI.
Note that the federal government also offers the Canada Learning Bond (CLB), an additional incentive of up to $2,000 (without spending a single dollar!) to help low-income families.2
