Income Tax Receipts
For courses that are GST exempt and cost more than $100, an official tax receipt (T2202) will be available online in February from your student profile. For further assistance please use the online help or call 250-370-4563.
Important: Effective for the 2019 tax year, all post-secondary institutions are required to provide the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) with SINs on the T2202 (previously T2202A). The Tuition and Enrolment Certificate (T2202) is an official tax form that summarizes eligible tuition, fees, and months of study for qualifying courses. You can view and print your T2202 forms from your student profile as of February 15. If you wish to omit entering your SIN number, you will not be eligible for tuition tax deductions.
