Tax Receipt Information

T2202 Tuition Tax Receipts

Brampton Flight Centre is a certified educational institution under the Income Tax Act and has been issuing T2202 tuition tax receipts since 2024. If you qualify, a T2202 allows you to claim a tuition tax credit on your personal income tax return.

Eligibility Requirements

Monthly Minimum Training Hours

To be eligible for a T2202 in any given month, you must complete a minimum of 12 hours of training within that calendar month. This includes flight instruction, ground school, and simulator time.

Multiple School Restriction

The CRA has restrictions on claiming tuition from multiple educational institutions in the same period. If you are also enrolled at another educational institution (college, university, etc.) during the same months, there may be limitations on your ability to claim the BFC T2202. Consult a tax professional if you are unsure.

What Counts Towards the 12-Hour Minimum?

  • Dual flight instruction (air time with your instructor)
  • Ground school class attendance
  • Flight simulator training with an instructor
  • Pre-flight and post-flight briefings (when documented by your instructor)

Solo flight time does not count towards the 12-hour minimum, as it is not instructional time.

How to Request Your T2202

Important: Contact Rita at the BFC front desk before year-end to ensure your training hours are properly recorded and that you will receive your T2202 in time for tax filing season.

Steps to follow:

  1. Ensure your training hours are accurately recorded in your member file throughout the year
  2. Contact Rita at the front desk before December 31 to confirm your eligibility
  3. T2202 forms are typically issued in February for the preceding tax year
  4. You will receive your T2202 by mail or can pick it up at the front desk

Tips to Maximize Your Tax Benefit

  • Plan your training to meet or exceed 12 hours per month
  • Combine ground school attendance with flight lessons in the same month
  • Keep your own records of all instructional time as a backup
  • If you fall short one month, consider adding a simulator session to reach the threshold
