When you withdraw funds from an RRSP, your financial institution withholds the tax. The rates depend on your residency and the amount you withdraw. For residents of Canada, the rates are: * 10% (5% in Quebec) on amounts up to $5,000; * 20% (10% in Quebec) on amounts from $5,000 to $15,000; and * 30% (15% in Quebec) on amounts over $15,000. Note Quebec residents must pay an additional provincial withholding tax.

You may or may not be charged a penalty by the company holding your RRSP.

Depending on your tax bracket the tax that was withheld may not always be enough to account for the tax you owe. You may have to pay more tax on the withdrawal when you include the withdrawal on your tax return for that year.
