A registered disability savings plan (RDSP) is a government-assisted and tax-deferred savings plan intended to help an individual who is approved to receive the disability tax credit (DTC) to save for their long-term financial security.
RDSP contributions are non-tax deductible deposits and can be made by, or on behalf of the beneficiary up to the end of the year the beneficiary turns 59.
While all contributions made to the RDSP remain tax-free, government incentives and income earned in the RDSP are sheltered from tax until withdrawn.
Income payments from an RDSP will provide the beneficiary with an additional income source and will not impact most provincial disability benefits and other federal income-tested federal government programs such as GST, OAS, EI, and CCB.
Payments may affect eligibility for disability support and other disability pension plans. Consult with the provincial benefit provider for further information.
Take advantage of government incentives to grow your savings faster. The Canada Disability Savings Grant and the Canada Disability Savings Bond offer financial supports that can really add up over time.
Beneficiaries must be under the age of 60 when the account is opened. Government incentives are only available on contributions made while the beneficiary is under the age of 50.
