What is an RESP? Why do you need to know this definition? The MoneySense Glossary is your resource for learning and understanding financial terms.
A registered education savings plan (RESP) is a type of account where parents and guardians can save and invest for their children’s post-secondary education. Interest and investment income on the savings are not taxed while the funds remain within the RESP account.
An RESP is opened by a subscriber, such as a parent or grandparent, for the student, who is the beneficiary. A lifetime maximum of $50,000 per child can be contributed. If the child is under 17 years old, the federal government will also put money into the account, either as a grant or a bond. Depending on where you live, your provincial government may contribute a grant as well. Students can begin withdrawing money from RESPs when they are enrolled in an eligible university, college or trade program. An RESP can stay open for 36 years.
Unlike RRSPs, RESP contributions are not tax-deductible. Withdrawals of your principal contributions are not taxable; however, withdrawals of the grants/bonds or investment earnings (called educational assistance payments) are counted as part of the student’s taxable income.
Example: “The deadline to contribute to your RESP for the year is December 31.”
