How to Generate Tax Forms

Overview

The tax year begins in January and ends in December. For example, the 2024 tax year consists of amounts for the following academic periods:

  • 2023-24 Winter Term 2 (Jan to Apr)
  • 2024 Summer Session (May to Aug)
  • 2024-25 Winter Term 1 (Sept to Dec)

UBC will issue the T2202 and T4A tax forms for the 2024 tax year in Workday in late February.

Where Students Access Tax Forms

2024 tax forms will be available in Workday, whereas historical tax forms from previous years are available in the UBC Official Documents Tool (ODMT).

If you have graduated from UBC and don’t have access to Workday, you can log in to the ODMT directly to access your historical tax slips. Follow the instructions under generating a historical T4A and generating a historical T2202, starting with step 2.

Tax Year Where to Access Tax Forms
Prior Year Tax Forms (<2024)* UBC Official Documents Tool (ODMT)
2024 Tax Forms Workday

*The ODMT only stores tax forms from the previous 7 years. For example, if you access the ODMT in tax year 2024, you may see tax forms from 2017 to 2023.

T4A – Statement of Pension, Retirement, Annuity, and Other Income

  • This is used to report additional income. Students receive a T4A slip if they have received a
    bursary, scholarship, award, Teacher Certificate, Passport to Education or Faculty/Staff Tuition
    Fee Waiver as a dependent of a UBC staff or faculty member.
  • Tuition paid by a sponsor is considered taxable income. However, the sponsoring organizations
    issue the T4A forms for this income, not UBC.

T2202 – Tuition and Enrolment Certificate

  • This is used to claim a credit for income tax deductions. Students receive a T2202 slip if they
    have paid tuition fees (more than $100) for qualifying courses that they are eligible to claim on
    their income tax return. The T2202 also reports the months of the tax year during which the
    student was engaged in full-time or part-time studies.
  • Exclusions apply if fees or charges are not yet paid by students, or are reimbursed and therefore
    not included in the student’s income.
  • If the original tax slip has already been submitted to the CRA, and there is an adjustment to
    totals, then an amended tax slip is required and must be submitted to the CRA.
  • The T2202 replaced the T2202A beginning with the 2019 calendar year. The T2202A tax form will be available for download under the “Tax Form T2202 Request” button.
