Accumulated Income Payments (AIPs)

AIPs are amounts, usually paid to the subscriber, of the income earned from an RESP. An AIP does not include:

• the payment of educational assistance payments (EAPs)
• payments to a designated educational institution in Canada
• the refund of contributions to the subscriber or to the beneficiary
• transfers to another RESP
• repayments under the Canada Education Savings Act or under a designated provincial program

AIPs cannot be made as a single joint payment to separate subscribers.
