Income Tax Receipts

Students who qualify for the Tuition and/or Education Tax Credit may obtain official income tax forms (T2202A) by logging into My ContEd, or by request (403-220-2866). Students may be eligible for a T2202A based upon the Income Tax Act and the student's registration records/status. Please refer to the information below which details eligibility for Income Tax receipts.

For general information about tuition and education tax credits, please refer to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Tuition Tax Credit

The tuition tax credit for a particular taxation year can be based only on tuition fees paid for that year. Thus, for example, if a program of study runs from October 1st 2004 - March 31st 2005, the student would receive a 2004 T2202A for those courses which ended in 2004 and in 2005 a T2202A for those courses which ended in 2005.
