Canadian Student Tax Credits:

Can YouSave Money on QC Makeup Academy Tuition?

If you’re a Canadian resident studying with QC Makeup Academy you may be able to reduce the cost of your tuition through federal student tax credits.

Because QC Makeup Academy is recognized by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) for tax purposes, eligible tuition may qualify for Canadian tuition tax credits.

What Tax Credits Can Canadian Students Claim?

Eligible students may be able to claim two federal tax credits:

  • 1. The Canada Training Credit (CTC)
  • 2. The Tuition Tax Credit

Depending on your income, province, and available Canada Training Credit Limit (CTCL), these credits can significantly reduce your tuition costs.

1.Canada Training Credit (CTC)

The Canada Training Credit is a refundable tax credit for eligible working Canadians between the ages of 26 and 65.

How it Works

Eligible Canadians can accumulate $250 in Canada Training Credit room each year they file a tax return, up to a lifetime maximum of $5,000. Your available balance appears on your CRA Notice of Assessment as your Canada Training Credit Limit (CTCL).

You may be able to claim:

  • Up to 50% of eligible tuition fees, or
  • Your available CTCL balance
Canada Training Credit

2. Tuition Tax Credit

Any eligible tuition not claimed through the Canada Training Credit may still qualify for the federal Tuition Tax Credit.

How it Works

The federal Tuition Tax Credit equals 15% of your eligible tuition amount.
You may also qualify for additional provincial tuition tax credits depending on your province of residence.
