Passenger Advisory - Nov 2006
Tax Credit For Transit Passes
This message is to provide more information on the acceptable forms of supporting documentation to claim the Transit Tax Credit. Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) continues to state that 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;
(WCE 28 day pass qualifies)
- the date or period for which the pass is valid;
(printed on WCE 28 day pass)
.
- the name of the transit authority or organization issuing the pass;
(printed on WCE 28 day pass)
- the amount paid for the pass; and,
(printed on WCE 28 day pass)
- the identity of the rider, either by name or unique identifier.
(serial # on WCE ticket)
Please note that WCE 28-day passes are sufficient proof to support claim for tax credit. Retain all your passes to submit when proof is requested.
For Pass Programs, such as the Employer Pass Program, CRA confirms that it is the participant's responsibility to retain pay stubs and/or cancelled cheques in order to support their claim for tax credit.
West Coast Express will not be replacing prior month passes, or issuing receipts.
