RESP “registered education savings plan” provides a great way to save for your child’s university education.
With RESPs, the government provides matching funds for 20% of any contribution up to $2,500 per year up to a maximum of $7,200.
An RESP can be used for any education related expenses and can even be transferred to a sibling if one child opts to forgo a university education.
RESP funds will be taxed upon withdrawal; however, students will be paying taxes only on the interest, dividends, capital gains, and the government’s contributions; their withdrawals directly tied to the contributions made by the parents are not considered taxable income.
