The GSA-UW hosts an Income Tax Seminar and a series Income Tax Aid Clinic for graduate students. The both services are held in March and April each year to help graduate students learn how to complete their income tax return forms. Consultations are provided for graduate students registered this term (GSA-UW members) and who have paid the GSA Association Fee. Please note that the GSA-UW does not provide a tax filing service.

​

The Tax Aid services provided by the GSA are divided into 2 sections: 

​

1. Income Tax Seminar: The GSA puts together an informational sessions regarding the basics of filing your income tax here in Canada. We host a live session at the beginning of March for students to attend and learn about the process. We also have a pre-recorded video that can be viewed if you are unable to attend the session live. IMPORTANT: It is expected to have attended the session or viewed the video prior to attend a consultation appointment with our Accountant. 

2. Consultation Appointments: The GSA Accountant hosts 15-minute sessions in March and April to help answer any questions you may have regarding filing your taxes. They will also be able to review your completed tax forms to ensure you have completed them correctly. IMPORTANT: They will not be able to sit down and fill your tax return for you.

Tax returns are due to the Canada Revenue Agency on April 30, 2025.
