Beginning July 1, 2006, you can save on each monthly bus pass purchased by claiming a 15.25% tax credit on your income tax return. Simply keep your monthly pass and dated receipt, and print your name on the back of the pass.

In addition to claiming your own cost of transit passes, you can make a claim on behalf of your spouse or common law partner and your children under the age of 19. For more information, visit www.transitpass.ca.

How to Claim Your Bus Pass
