transferring tuition credits to parents
You may transfer up to $5,000 per student, per year, in tuition fees and education credits to the studentâs spouse, parent or grandparent so that they may claim this on their return.or example, if a student incurs tuition fees of $15,000 in one calendar year and he or she has no taxable income against which to utilize the tuition tax credit, it may be preferable for the parent to claim a $5,000 tax credit, ensuring that some tax relief is provided in the year the tuition fees are incurred.
