Canada Taxback - Calculation Request

A few important info pieces before you can start

This ensures that there are no misunderstandings later and that everything runs smoothly.

The Taxback service is only offered to Work and Travellers, who were in Canada under the IEC program (Working Holiday, Young Professionals, Co-Op Internship).

  • By submitting the form, you confirm that you have understood the Taxback process outlined >> here <<
  • A service fee of $10 applies for the calculation, which is payable immediately after submitting the form.
  • The questions in the form relate to the tax year. The Canadian tax year runs from January 1st to December 31st.
  • NO tax returns for the province of Quebec. Sorry.
  • NO tax returns for self-employment. Sorry. 
  • If you wish to submit multiple years, complete a separate form for each tax year. Only pay the $10 service fee once. 
  • Do not include any sensitive information in the form fields (e.g., date of birth, address, SIN number). Not required at this stage.
  • The request form is hosted on a secured, SSL-encrypted website.

If you receive the T4 for the 2025 tax year before February 2026

Please wait, as some employers are very quick and issue the T4 forms too early.

The tax software for 2025 tax returns will not be released by the CRA until February 2026. Before that time, the CRA will not accept any tax returns. Please complete the form only at the beginning of February 2026 then we can get on it right away.

If you are missing a T4: first wait to receive all T4s from all employers.

The Record of Employment (ROE) is not sufficient, as it only shows your earnings and no tax deductions.

Wait for all T4s from all employers. Since the tax agency (CRA) also has all the T4 available, you can’t leave them out with the excuse “I didn’t receive the T4”. Below is a photo how a T4 looks like.

Employers are required by law to issue a T4 by the deadline of “last day of February”. If you haven’t received a T4 by mid-March, contact the employers to provide you with a copy. Let them know there is a late filing penalty for employers, starting at $10 per day late. > Here is the link you can send them for more pressure. <
