As a student living in a digital world, youโre probably already pretty tech-savvy, but now itโs 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

Claim tax credits, like the tuition tax credit and interest paid on student loans.
Get a refund! ๐ธ
International Students โ Donโt Miss Out! ๐
If youโre 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.
