Students, itโ€™s Time to Get Tax Savvy! ๐Ÿงฎ๐Ÿ“š

January 14, 2025 | Ottawa, Ontario | Canada Revenue Agency

As a student living in a digital world, youโ€™re probably already pretty tech-savvy, but now itโ€™s time to get tax savvy! We know filing an income tax and benefit return can feel overwhelming and confusing, but we can help.

Tax Savvy Tips

Filing your tax return every year can make your funds go further. You can potentially:

  • Get (or continue to get) benefit and credit payments youโ€™re eligible for, like the goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) credit and related provincial or territorial credits.

  • Claim tax credits, like the tuition tax credit and interest paid on student loans.

  • Get a refund! ๐Ÿ’ธ

International Students โ€“ Donโ€™t Miss Out! ๐ŸŒ

If youโ€™re an international student living in Canada, filing a tax return can also help. You could be eligible for some benefit and credit payments. Visit benefits, credits, and taxes for newcomers for more information.

To find ways to file your tax return, including through a free tax clinic, check out Get ready to do your taxes. This page will be updated in late January 2025.
