Tax Receipts

Receipts for the previous year's tax receipts are made available by the end of February. 

T2202A Tax Receipts

T2202As are tuition tax receipts issued to all students for tuition related to the calendar year.  These show the amount of tuition that can be deducted for income tax purposes as well as the number of months eligible for the education deduction.

These receipts are provided through an online service on Student Center, which allows you to view your T2202A - Tuition and Education Amounts Certificate(s) from Taxation year 2000 and onwards.

Student donation fee receipts for income tax purposes are available through the Student Center. These receipts are for the student faculty donation fees.   For information on these receipts only, contact Advancement Services at 519-661-4176 ext. 84176

Bus Pass Receipts

There are no special tax forms issued for the bus pass. If you are claiming the bus pass amount charged with your Western tuition charges, you can use the online statement of account found at the Student Center as proof of amounts paid.

Undergraduate, Professional, Education and Continuing Studies students have bus pass charges that cross tax years and can claim the following:

* For students who were registered and paid for a bus pass in the 8 month 2011-2012 academic year, one half of that cost can be claimed on the 2012 tax year.

* For students who were registered and paid for a bus pass in the 8 months 2012-2013 year, one half of that cost can be claimed on the 2012 tax year and the remaining amount will be claimable in the 2013 tax year.

Graduate students can claim all three terms worth of bus passes within the given tax year.

International Students

The University of Western Ontario is required to report this information to all students to enable them to complete their Canadian tax returns. For information on whether you need to file a Canadian tax return and/or a tax return in your country of origin, as well as information on how to file a Canadian tax return as an international student visit  SDC's International and Exchange Student Centre. The IESC also offers income tax clinics for international students every year in March.

University Students' Council (USC) organizes a series of free tax clinics for Western students every year in March. All tax returns are prepared and electronically submitted to CRA by CRA trained and authorized volunteers. For more information visit http://westernusc.ca/income-tax-clinic/.

This clinic is a registered community partner with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) under The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP).
