Children's Fitness Tax Credit program
Clubs can download the form and customize it to fit their particular
club. Download the form
(MS Word - right-click and ' Save Target As...').
For a full explanation of the Children's Fitness Tax Credit please go
to: www.cra-arc.gc.ca/fitness/
or contact the Canada Revenue Agency at 1-800-959-8281.
The Children's Fitness Tax Credit Eligibility Check List can be found
at:
www.cra-arc.gc.ca/whatsnew/checklist-e.html
Child Fitness Tax Credit Form:
Customize the form template provided for your specific club.
Receipts:
Receipts can only be issued for amounts paid during the calendar year
even if all of part of the activity occurs in the following year.
The receipt number includes the child's BC Athletics membership
number preceded by the applicable year - example: 2007-95-24187. In the
case of Training memberships and Track Rascals memberships where a BC
Athletics membership number is not given, use 2007T# or 2007TR# - if you
have 10 Track Rascals then number the individuals - example: 2007TR1,
2007TR2, 2007TR3 etc. Do the same for Training members.
Calculating eligible fees:
The fees must be paid for a child who is under 16 years of age at any
time in the year.
Registration and membership costs can include the costs of
administration, instruction and the rental of facilities. If the fees
charged to parents include part for accommodation, travel, food, or
beverages then this part must be deducted when calculating the part of
the fees that qualify for the tax credit. For example if club membership
fees total $400 and includes a charge of $50 for travel and $50 for a
club uniform then the eligible amount would be $400 - $50 - $50 = $300.
Description of Eligible Programs:
Eligible activities must include the following in order to qualify.
Make sure descriptions of club programs makes mention and details all of
the following:
- Ongoing (either a minimum of eight weeks duration, with a minimum
of one session per week or, in the case of children's camps, five
consecutive days);
- Supervision;
- Activities suitable for children; and
- Substantially all of the activities must include a significant
amount of physical activity that contributes to cardio-respiratory
endurance plus one or more of: muscular strength, muscular
endurance, flexibility, or balance.

Manager, Registration & Membership Services at (604) 333-3556 or sam.collier@bcathletics.org.
