If you paid for your child’s skating lesson fees in 2015, your fees are eligible for the Child Fitness Tax Credit for 2015. Child Fitness Tax Credits are eligible in the year that they were paid and not the year that the lessons occurred. Therefore, if you paid for your child’s Winter session fees in 2016, the credit will go towards your 2016 taxes.
In the past, parents were able to print the Tax Credit receipts directly from the Skate Canada website. This feature is no longer available through the new Skate Canada membership site.
If you require a Children’s Fitness Tax Credit Receipt for your 2015 Tax Return, email [email protected] with the following information:
- Name to appear on receipt
- Skater’s Name
- Skater’s year of Birth
Receipts will be available after February 29, 2016.
