回复: 问下RESP的问题
6. What happens if I can't afford to contribute money to my RESP this year?
Don’t worry – you can catch up next year.
In fact, you can accumulate unused CESG from previous years by contributing up to $5,000 per child per year. (Remember that it is not the years that count here, but the total unused CESG room.) The CESG provides $500 on the first $2,500 of contributions for the current year in which the contribution is made. The remaining $2,500 could gain up to $500 in unused CESG money from previous years. This way, you could get up to $1,000 in CESG money per calendar year, if you have unused CESG from previous years. The maximum lifetime CESG is still $7,200 per child.
Carry forward examples.
7. How much unused CESG room can I carry forward?
As of 1998 (when the Canada Education Savings Program was first offered), CESG room (unused CESG amounts) accumulates for a child until the end of the calendar year in which the child turns 17. Unused CESG amounts can be carried forward for possible use in future years.
1998 to 2006: up to $400 is added to the CESG room for each eligible child per year since 1998 (or since birth, if the child was born after 1998).
2007 or later: up to $500 is added to the CESG room for each eligible child per year since 2007 (or since birth, if the child was born after 2007).
以上原文没有说只能补三年呀? 似乎是可以积累,一直补多少年都可以。是这意思吗?
