Can I claim the cost of my son's soccer, swimming & skating activities as tax deductible?

You can if you live in the province of Quebec, Manitoba, Yukon and Nova Scotia. 

Only Quebec, Manitoba, Yukon and Nova Scotia still have the fitness tax credits and the children’s art amount. All other provinces have eliminated these credits.

• Yukon children’s fitness tax credit which allows you to claim $1000 fees paid for children under 16 offers also a supplement of an additional $500 for children with disabilities. Yukon offers a claim of $500 fees paid for the children’s art amount for children under 16 who are enrolled in an art program and a supplement for an additional $500 for children with disabilities.
• Manitoba offers the same children’s art amount as Yukon but a different Manitoba fitness amount that covers $500 in fees paid for any family member.
• Quebec residents can apply for a similar credit called Tax Credit for Children’s Activity. The credit allows you to apply for $500 in fees paid per child and another $500 per child who is suffering from infirmity or disability.
• Nova Scotia residents can apply for a similar credit called the Children’s Sports and Arts Tax Credit. It is a $500 per child refundable credit that helps offset the cost of children’s sports and arts programs. Eligible expenses include membership fees, uniforms and equipment.
