Tuition Tax Credit Information Session & TACS Clinic

As the tax season is approaching, the ISA office has partnered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and UBC TACS to provide information on tuition tax credits to International Students and assist international students with filing taxes.

1. Tuition Tax Credit Information Session – Hosted by CRA

The information session is hosted by CRA and the purpose of this information session is to help international students learn about Canada’s tax system and know what kind of benefits and credits they may be eligible for. International students could get GST/HST credit payments in Canada, and the tuition tax credits could help to reduce the tax payable (refund after filing the income tax return). If you are renting in BC for more than 6 months, you can also get the BC renter’s tax credit. Joining the information session will help you understand the benefits and responsibilities of filing a tax return in Canada, and you may learn about some resources that could be utilized during the tax season to get the tax return done.

Please register for the workshop to receive a Zoom link for the meeting:

Topic: Tuition Tax Credit Information Session – Hosted by CRA
Time: February 18, 2025, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

Registration Link: https://ubc.zoom.us/meeting/register/HVLMGxFfRqeF0EqJzONK2Q.
