Form OCDSB 911 (Rev. 20250205)
The Federal Government introduced the Teacher and Early Childhood Educator School
Supply Tax Credit, now referred to as the Eligible Educator School Supply Tax Credit, for
2016 and subsequent tax years. The measure allows an employee who is an eligible
educator to claim a refundable tax credit based on an amount of up to $1,000 of purchases
of eligible teaching supplies by the employee in a tax year
An eligible educator is a teacher registered by the Ontario College of Teachers or an early
childhood educator (ECE) registered with the Ontario College of Early Childhood Educators
who is employed in an elementary or secondary school or regulated child care facility.
The supplies must be purchased in the taxation year by the Teacher or ECE and used in the
classroom for the purpose of teaching or helping students learn. Eligible expenses are those
that have not been reimbursed and not subject to an allowance or other form of assistance.
The CRA provides more detailed information, including examples of eligible supplies, on
their website.
A delegated official of the employer should attest to the eligibility of the expense. CRA notes
that this should be a person who would ordinarily have reasonable knowledge of the
supplies purchased by the individual, what they are being used for and whether the teacher
or ECE has been reimbursed for the materials.
Teachers and registered ECEs are asked to submit completed forms to the principal
for certification.
