Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP)
The Registered Education Savings Plan is a type of investment vehicle that enables you to save money aside for your children's or grandchildren's post-secondary education. As a result, you gain access to government incentives that help your savings grow more quickly. A person (the subscriber) and a business or person (the RESP provider) enter into a contract (the promoter). The membership aids in generating tax-free revenues.
The RESP is a tax-advantaged savings program that is partially funded by the Canadian government for a child’s future education. The Canada Education Savings Grant is the method by which the federal government funds the RESP, and the money saved in this account grows tax-free.
RESPs Provide Advantages for Lifetime
● The possibility of government grants
● Low-risk investing
● Variety of international universities and colleges
● Saving is made simpler with a variety of flexible plan alternatives.
