RDSP Specialist in Calgary, Alberta


The Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) is a Canadian savings program designed to help people with disabilities and their families build long-term financial security. When an individual qualifies for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC), they may also gain access to government grants and bonds that can significantly increase their savings over time.

At RDSPlan, we focus on disability-related planning and the RDSP Disability Tax Credit. We assist individuals, families, and caregivers in understanding the rules, accessing available programs, and setting up plans that support your beneficiary’s future. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to us at any time.

 

The RDSP Overview

 

The RDSP brings together personal contributions, government support, and tax-advantaged growth in a single long-term savings plan for an eligible beneficiary.

What is an RDSP?

An RDSP is a government-supported savings plan that allows contributions on behalf of a person with a disability, with investment growth generally sheltered from tax until funds are withdrawn. For more information and frequently asked questions, check out our FAQ page.

Who is it for?

The RDSP is intended for Canadians who are approved for the Disability Tax Credit and who meet specific age, residency, and identification requirements. Our RDSP eligibility page provides a full description of these criteria.

Why does the RDSP matter?

Through the Canada Disability Savings Grant and the Canada Disability Savings Bond, the federal government may add substantial amounts to an RDSP over time, depending on income and contributions.
