RRSP Withholding Tax Explained

When you withdraw from your RRSP before retirement, your financial institution must withhold tax at source. The withholding rate depends on the withdrawal amount.

Federal Withholding Rates

  • 10% on withdrawals up to $5,000
  • 20% on withdrawals from $5,001 to $15,000
  • 30% on withdrawals over $15,000

Important: Withholding tax is not your final tax. Consult a tax professional before making large RRSP withdrawals.
