Under the New Brunswick Tuition Rebate, anyone, from anywhere in the world, who on or after January 1, 2005, pays tuition, graduates from an eligible post-secondary institution, lives and works in New Brunswick and pays New Brunswick personal income tax, will be eligible for a non-taxable rebate of 50% of their tuition costs with a maximum lifetime rebate of $20,000.

The rebate can be claimed once personal income tax returns are filed for the previous taxation year, and a Notice of Assessment is received from the Canada Revenue Agency.

The tuition rebate may be claimed any time up to 20 years from the first year that credit is earned. The total rebate paid for any given year will be equal to the New Brunswick income tax payable to a maximum of $4,000. Unused balances may be carried forward and claimed against future New Brunswick personal income tax, until the lifetime maximum of $20,000 is reached.
