Canada Training CreditCIET offers a range of professional development courses that can provide individuals with the opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge in energy efficiency. In addition, students enrolled in eligible courses may also be eligible for a tax refund under the Canada Training Credit. By taking advantage of this program, students can invest in their professional development while reducing their tax burden, and the only document needed to claim the refund is their course's invoice. For 2019 and subsequent taxation years, the budget proposes a new refundable tax credit called the Canada training credit available for eligible tuition and other fees paid for courses taken in 2020 and subsequent taxation years. The credit will be the lesser of the individual’s Canada training credit limit for the taxation year, and half of the eligible tuition and fees paid to an eligible educational institution in respect of the year. |
