/ T8 q2 e* ]: h; Q; ^# P2. the money you deposit to RESP is after - tax money, meaning after you have been taxed on your annual income, you use whatever left to save to this account -- OF course it is tax-free when you need to close the account and get your money out of it. What you need to give back is Government's grant and the investment income from it. (CRA has a way to calculate the income). 4 M3 L, q w! i& V, r- e5 o1 S* I$ g# O) S( }& p- m( y
政府对每个孩子终身最多的配额是$7,200,不管收入高低。 但在收入低的时候,你存前$500配额的比例会高些,收入高的时候会低些。其他的存入额按20%计算。但每年最多的配额只有$600, $550, $500根据家庭收入不同。3 f( t* S& d Y M$ [
For 2011, the additional CESG rate on the first $500 contributed to an RESP for a beneficiary who is a child under 18 years of age is: & U& O I6 K$ d* g9 m$ Y! y • 40% (extra 20% on the first $500), if the child's family has qualifying net income for the year of $41,544 or less; and0 c6 j+ R7 k% x7 p% ^* H5 {
• 30% (extra 10% on the first $500), if the child's family has qualifying net income for the year that is more than $41,544 but is less than $83,088. g; {$ E4 I- |% w所以你早买呢,早拿政府的配额,你存款的时间长,利息也就多些。
