Beginning July 1, 2006, transit users in Victoria can save
nearly $10 on each adult monthly bus pass ($5.64 on each discount
pass) by claiming a tax credit on their income tax return.
How to Claim Your Bus Pass
Keep your monthly pass and dated receipt and print your name
on the back of the pass. If you use ProPass, U-Pass or YouthPass,
you can also claim your passes by keeping the appropriate
receipts — or in the case of ProPass users, keep your
payroll stubs.
For details on the non-refundable tax credit, visit www.transitpass.ca.
Claiming Your Spouse/Common-law Partner
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
about claiming a spouse, commonlaw partner or dependent, visit
www.transitpass.ca.
Bus Pass Reward Program
As well as claiming your tax credit, you can get Bus
Pass Rewards! Bring the pass to the participating bus
pass partner location(s) and they will help you redeem the
pass. Be sure to keep your pass for your 2006 tax return.
