Concept
The Canada Education Savings Act provides for a 20% Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) to be paid on contributions made to a registered education savings plan (RESP) in respect of a beneficiary up to and including the year in which the beneficiary turns 17 years of age (CESA 5(2)).
Definitions
The dollar limit on the maximum annual CESG is $1,000 (CESA 5(2)(b)). An assisted contribution is a contribution to an RESP in respect of which a CESG was paid.
Example
This year, Jennie plans to contribute $3,000 to an RESP on behalf of her daughter, Amanda.
Amanda had unused CESG room remaining last year of $500, so her total CESG room this year is $3,000, calculated as:
- (new CESG contribution room of $2,500 + carryforward of $500).
HRSDC will provide a grant of $600, calculated as:
- (the lesser of (the dollar limit of $1,000 and (the grant rate of 20% × (the lesser of (the contribution of $3,000 and beneficiary’s unused CESG grant contribution room of $3,000))))).
