Welcome to the IO's tax return completion guide. Here you will find step-by-step instructions to complete your tax forms. If you have arrived in Canada before January 1st, 2020; then you (as an international student) will probably have to file an income tax return for 2019.

All students residing in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador should file an income tax return. To do so students must gather the following documents:

1. T2202 Slip (Tuition fee)
2. Insurance premiums (Health and dental insurance premiums)
3. T4 Slip (Employment Income)
4. T4A Slip (Scholarship/Funding non-taxable income)
5. T5 Slip (Sent by bank for an investment income- Not common for international students)
6. Other expenses (If required)

T2202 Statement:
All students who paid tuition fee at Memorial University will be issued T2202 form. You are eligible to download this slip from Memorial Self-Service under Financial Information, if you have paid for tuition.

Adding tuition fee to your tax return helps you to collect tuition credits which can be later used to lower your tax slab and get good amount of income tax refunded when a student starts working full time

Health Insurance Premiums:
This includes MUNSU, GSU, and Foreign Health Insurance fees. To get the accurate amount paid you need to visit Memorial Self-Service, Financial Information, View "Account Summary by Term". You may cut and paste the amount into the software directly when filing the tax return.
