Children's Fitness Tax Credit

Information for our members on eligibility for the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit and process for Tax Receipts

The Government of Canada proposes to allow, starting in 2007, a non-refundable tax credit on eligible amounts of up to $500 paid by parents to register a child, under the age of 16, in an eligible program of physical activity.

The proposed children's fitness tax credit will allow parents to claim a maximum of $500 per year for eligible fees paid for each child who is under 16 at any time during the year.

Please refer to the following Canada Revenue Agency link for more details;

Tax receipts will be issued automatically to those who register on-line; the rest of our members can make the request and receive their Tax receipts via their respective Team Manager. For those registering in the YDP Program (U4-U11), requests should be made directly to the Club Registrar

IMPORTANT NOTE: Tax receipts under this program apply only for amounts paid in 2007 and after (not 2006).
