Transit Pass Tax Credit Begins July 1, 2006

Starting July 1, 2006, monthly (and longer) transit passes are eligible for a non-refundable 15.25 per cent federal tax credit.

The transit pass tax credit, announced as part of the May 2006 federal budget, will allow individuals to claim the cost of monthly (or longer) passes for commuting on transit.
In addition to claiming his or her own cost of transit passes, an individual can make a claim on behalf of a spouse or common-law partner, and the individual’s children under the age of 19, to the extent that they have not already been claimed by them.

The Canada Revenue Agency is advising transit users to keep their expired monthly transit passes and receipts, where available, if they plan to claim the tax credit on their 2006 income tax return.

If a transit pass displays the following information, the pass itself will be sufficient to support a claim for the tax credit:

  • An indication that it is a monthly (or longer duration) pass
  • The date or period for which the pass is valid
  • The name of the transit authority or organization issuing the pass
  • The amount paid for the pass
  • The identity of the rider, either by name or unique identifier

If a transit user's pass does not contain all of this information, transit users should also obtain a sales receipt, or retain cancelled cheques or credit card statements, to support the claim.

Additional information on how to claim the proposed tax credit for public transit passes is on the Canada Revenue Agency website at www.cra.gc.ca.
