Tax forms
UBC issues the T2202 and T4A tax forms in late February. At that time, you can download your tax forms in Workday.
Please note that we are only able to provide T2202 and T4A tax forms for the past 7 years. For example, if you access the UBC Official Documents tool in tax year 2024, you may see tax forms from 2017 to 2023. Request for tax documents older than 7 years cannot be fulfilled, in accordance with our records retention policy and Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) guidelines.
T2202
The tax credit amount for the tuition and fees paid in the last calendar/tax year. The T2202 was issued for the 2019 calendar year and will continue to be issued. The T2202 replaced the T2202A beginning with the 2019 calendar year.
All current students receive a T2202 for tuition and student fees for the previous tax year. You can use this in your own tax return, or transfer the amount to a family member. Get details from the Canada Revenue Agency.
Application fees for admission to UBC are not included in your Tuition and Enrolment Certificate (T2202). Since these fees are paid before a student is admitted and enrolled in Workday, please use the receipt you received at the time of payment when filing your taxes.

T4A
If you have received a bursary, scholarship, award, Teaching Certificate, Passport to Education, or Faculty/Staff Tuition Fee Waiver as a dependant, then you will be issued a T4A. The amount on your T4A shows the total funding you received in the tax year, which may not equal the total you received for the academic year.

Note about T4 forms for students: if you were employed by UBC on a co-op work term, as a TA or RA, or in any other position, you’ll receive a T4 tax form in your employee account in Workday.
1098-T
If you are filing taxes in the U.S. you may be asked to produce the Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, used for qualified tuition and related expenses paid during the tax year. UBC is an eligible educational institution because of its participation in the U.S. Direct Loan Program.
UBC does not issue the Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement. As a Canadian institution, UBC only provides Canadian federal (T2202, T2202A) tax receipts.
Claiming tuition and related expenses without a 1098-T
For the most up to date information on claiming tuition and related expenses without a 1098-T go to Public 970, Tax Benefits for Education.
