Tax Receipt

The Revenue Canada certificate for income tax purposes (Form T2202) is your official income tax receipt. T2202 forms are available online February of every year for all courses taken during the preceding calendar year. In accordance with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regulations, T2202 forms are only issued for tuition fees totaling $100 or more. For details, visit the CRA website. Materials and administrative fees are not eligible for tax deduction. You can print out the T2202 Tax form from STU-VIEW (George Brown’s on-line Student Information System) at http://stuview.georgebrown.ca/.
