Tuition Tax Credit - New Brunswick

New Brunswick has reintroduced tuition fees for the 2019 and subsequent taxation years.

In addition, the tuition fees paid for 2017 and 2018 must be declared on the 2019 return. These can be used in 2019 or carried over to a future year. The 2017 and 2018 amounts cannot be used by the student and cannot be transferred to another support person.

To be eligible, the fees you paid to attend each educational institution must exceed $100.

Tuition fees must be recorded in the student's file.
