T1014 : British Columbia Training Tax Credit (Individuals)

Are you a resident of British Columbia and currently enrolled in an apprenticeship program? If so, you can take advantage of the British Columbia training tax credit (TTC). This refundable training tax credit is available to apprentices in programs run by the British Columbia Industry Training Authority, as long as you’ve received a Certificate of Qualification for passing their challenge exam, and you were a resident of British Columbia on December 31st.

There are three levels of the TTC:

  1. The basic credit for the first two levels of non-Red Seal training programs
  2. The completion credit for level 3 or higher for both Red Seal and non-Red Seal training programs
  3. The enhanced credit for First Nations individuals, persons with disabilities, or if you received a federal apprenticeship grant this year

For every level you complete, you can claim a certain amount. If you complete more than one level during the year, you can claim the amounts for each of those levels!

Note: Once you complete a level, you’ll have no later than 36 months after the year ends to claim your credit.
