You dreamt of seeing their smile and joy when you\u2019d help them achieve milestones as they grew up. You dreamt of a happy child, learning voraciously in a post-secondary institution without the stress of worrying about money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With that dream in mind, you opened a Registered Education Savings Plan, or RESP, and started contributing to the account. With the advice of your wealth advisor, you made a plan to achieve your goal of helping your child with post-secondary education. A couple years later, you had another baby and you wanted all the same things for them, so they were added as a beneficiary to the Family RESP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the years contributions were made on behalf of both children, the government chipped in grant money, and funds were prudently invested. The RESP continued to grow and compound for almost 20 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your oldest child grew up, has just graduated from high school and has been accepted to attend post-secondary education in the fall. Your youngest is still a couple years away, but they\u2019ve never been fond of classes and they\u2019re considering starting a small business instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You decide that it\u2019s time to meet with your wealth planner, and you make a list of questions to find out everything you need to know about withdrawing from the RESP.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is the difference between a Family RESP and an Individual RESP, and why is it relevant to withdrawals?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Family RESP has multiple beneficiaries that are family members of the subscriber (children\/ grandchildren), and an individual RESP only has one beneficiary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With Family RESPs, the funds in the account can be distributed in any proportion to any beneficiary, as long as each beneficiary doesn\u2019t receive more than $7,200 in government grants. This is helpful if one beneficiary decides not to attend post-secondary education as funds, with exception to the government grants aligned with the beneficiary, can be distributed to the other beneficiaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are Educational Assistance Payments (EAP) and refund of contributions, and what\u2019s the difference between them?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unlike RRSP contributions, RESP contributions are not tax deductible. That means that all the funds contributed to the RESP throughout the years have already been subject to income tax, so these contributions are considered after-tax funds. To avoid being taxed again, these funds are recorded by the financial institution as notional figures, referred to as the RESP \u201chistory\u201d. When these funds are withdrawn, they are referred to as a \u201crefund of contributions\u201d or \u201crefund of payments\u201d, and these amounts are not taxable receipts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the grants (and bonds, if applicable) that were paid into the account, and the investment income and growth inside the RESP, are amounts that haven\u2019t been subject to tax. These amounts make up the EAP. They are taxable in the hands of the beneficiaries which is a cool income splitting feature of the RESP that isn\u2019t mentioned often. Grants and bonds are also recorded by the financial institution as notional figures in the RESP history. Because investment income and growth isn\u2019t a fixed number, it isn\u2019t recorded until a withdrawal is actually made \u2013 but it\u2019s easy to deduce as the difference between the account value, and the contributions-plus-grants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How do I take funds out of the RESP as EAP or PSE?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once your child is enrolled at a post-secondary institution, the institution can provide a proof of enrolment or verification of enrolment. This is not the same thing as acceptance \u2013 your child needs to be enrolled to take noncapital contribution funds (see below) out of the RESP. You can provide the proof of enrolment to your wealth advisor, along with instructions on how much to take out, and the funds can be sent to your or your child\u2019s bank account, to be put towards education costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What can the funds be used for?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is no restriction on what the funds can be used for, as long as it\u2019s in furtherance of the beneficiary\u2019s education. Many RESP holders are surprised to find out that they can use the money for their student\u2019s housing, tuition, books, or other living expenses (is a beer allowance necessary for a beneficiary\u2019s education? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\ud83e\udd14<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do I need receipts?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CRA\u2019s position is that no proof of the reasonableness of expenses is required if the EAP withdrawal is below $26,860 (for 2023). So no, you don\u2019t need to submit receipts, most of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do I need to provide a proof of enrolment for every withdrawal?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the initial withdrawal, receipts or proof of enrolment are not required however RESP promoters may request proof of enrolment to withdraw EAP.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How much can I take out at a time?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As always, it depends!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are different rules for the type of withdrawal, if the withdrawal relates to the first 13 weeks of enrollment, and if the beneficiary is a part-time or full-time student.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are two types of withdrawals that can occur while a RESP beneficiary is a post-secondary student: (1) withdrawal of contributions, or Post-Secondary Education Withdrawal (PSE) as it\u2019s referred to at Wellington-Altus Private Wealth, and (2) Educational Assistance Payments (EAP) which consist of grants, bonds and investment income and growth in the RESP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Generally, there are no restrictions on how much can be withdrawn as PSE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For EAP, during the first 13 weeks, part-time students can withdraw up to $4,000 of EAP and full-time students up to $8,000 of EAP. If your child remains enrolled after the first 13 weeks, there is no restriction on annual EAP withdrawals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s consider an example.\u00a0 A family RESP is worth $100,000 today. $60,000 in contributions and $12,000 in government grants are noted. $60,000 can be paid out tax-free, and $40,000 will be taxable to\u00a0 beneficiaries when paid out, depending on investment performance until the RESP is depleted.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the EAPs are taxable, does that mean my child will pay tax?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Again, it depends!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether a beneficiary pays income tax or not depends on several factors, namely:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How much was contributed to the RESP<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The investment returns generated in the RESP<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The beneficiary\u2019s marginal tax rate \u2013 and whether they have other taxable income such as salary from employment or investment income<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Personal tax credits that reduce taxes otherwise payable \u2013 the Basic Personal Amount, Tuition (and Education), etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether a plan is in place to withdraw EAPs first, then PSE.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a perfect world, all children\/beneficiaries would attend post-secondary education full-time for four years, graduate and enter the workforce without needing to go back to school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If we use the same example as above \u2013 family RESP worth $100,000 and no further investment returns, each beneficiary would receive $8,000 the first year, and then $14,000 for each of the remaining three years ($100,000 \/ 2 beneficiaries &#8211; $8,000 EAP limit first 13 weeks \/ 3 years remaining).\u00a0 Assuming 40% of each withdrawal is EAP &#8211; $3,200 first year, $5,600 the remaining three years &#8211; it is unlikely any beneficiary will have a tax liability, even with summer employment given their respective Federal Basic Personal Amount (approximately $15,000) and Tuition (approximately $6,500) tax credits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What if my child changes their mind about school, or one of my children decides not to attend post-secondary education?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep your wealth planner informed. This significant change will require an update to the RESP withdrawal plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the same RESP example as above, with only one child attending post-secondary education, you might take $10,000 EAP per year ($7,200 grant plus $32,800 investment growth, divided by four years). To the extent the one child not attending post-secondary education has received government grants and they have not been paid out as EAP to date, they will need to be returned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your child quits school or is even thinking of quitting school, let your wealth planner know right away &#8211; there may be several opportunities to split the income between calendar years, use RRSP\u2019s or tuition credits to offset income, switch withdrawals to another child, or even move funds into your own RRSP. Again, the only caveat is that for the child not attending post-secondary education, their government grants not paid out as EAP to date, will have to be returned.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are some easy-to-avoid mistakes when withdrawing from an RESP?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let your wealth planner know right away when your child\/beneficiary will be attending post-secondary education. Some parents are so good with their money that they don\u2019t need to withdraw from the RESP for several years \u2013 but, given the need to withdraw EAPs for the beneficiary during (or within 6 months of ceasing) post-secondary enrollment, don\u2019t delay in drafting a plan with your wealth advisor on how to drawdown the RESP efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The information contained herein has been provided for illustrative purposes only.
