edge_w Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Does anyone know whether the hideous amount of money we spent on MCAT PREP courses are okay to claim as educational amounts on income tax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewels1986 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 No, unfortunately. You can only claim "courses that are accepted at a recognized university or college for credit towards a degree", according to the Revenue Canada website.

Jewels1986 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Well... generally responsible professionals don't do things that are illegal. MCAT prep courses just aren't considered legitimate educational expenses for claiming purposes. Think about how many things could be written off if everything educational counted - they have to be specific. I don't think being able to claim it would make very much difference anyways, so it's really not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
