CRA Tax Tip: Tax Savings for Learning

The Canada Revenue Agency has released a new tax tip directed at students as well as workers who acquire or improve their work skills. Studens can claim the tuition fees paid to a university or college in Canada for courses takenat the post-secondary school level. Tuition fees paid for courses to acquire or improve skills in an occupation can also be deducted if Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) certified the institution.
