Tax Benefits

Although contributions are not tax deductible, all income earned within an RESP is sheltered from taxes until withdrawn to pay for the beneficiary's education.

Keeping your income sheltered from taxes means compounding can be more effective.

When accumulated income including the CESG is withdrawn, it is taxed at the student's tax rate, which is likely to be lower.
