Income Tax Reporting
Every calendar year, graduate students are issued one or more tax receipts based on their role(s) at Western. Students must submit these receipts when filing their annual tax return with the Canada Revenue Agency.
T2202 -- For Tuition Paid
T2202s 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, if applicable.
These receipts are provided through an online service on Student Center, which allows you to view your T2202 - Tuition and Education Amounts Certificate(s) from Taxation year 2000 and onwards. Once logged into Student Center, click Student Financials > Taxes > My T2202 Slips to view your T2202 tax receipts.
The T2202 tax receipt for 2023 will be available by February 28.
