Registered Disability Savings Plan
July 10, 2009
The Government of Canada is committed to helping people with disabilities and their families work toward long-term financial security. That is why we developed the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), the Canada Disability Savings Grant and the Canada Disability Savings Bond. Any person under the age of 60 who is eligible for the Disability Tax Credit and is a resident of Canada can open an RDSP at one of several financial organizations across the country. There is no annual contribution limit for an RDSP and a lifetime contribution limit of $200,000. With permission of the person who opened the RDSP, friends and family are welcome to contribute to help the Plan grow. What’s more, investment income earned in the Plan accumulates tax-free. To help eligible individuals save even more, the Government will pay a matching grant of up to $3 for every $1 in contributions received by an RDSP—up to $3,500 annually, with a lifetime limit of $70,000. The Government will also pay a bond of up to $1,000 annually, with a lifetime limit of $20,000, into the RDSPs of low-income and modest‑income Canadians. No individual contributions are necessary to receive the bond; simply open an RDSP. In addition to the RDSP, the Government of Canada is committed to breaking down barriers that prevent Canadians from reaching their full potential. The Government invests annually to address the needs of people with disabilities. Canada’s Economic Action Plan took further action by introducing close to $1.5 billion for housing construction and renovation projects and $40 million to improve accessibility to federal buildings; improving tax benefits; and making post‑secondary education more accessible. For more information on the RDSP, the grant and the bond, including a list of participating financial institutions, please visit the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada Web site at www.disabilitysavings.gc.ca. |
