* The Federal Government allows parents/guardians who choose a faith-based
school for their children to use a portion of the tuition fees as a
charitable donation for income tax purposes. Through a formula, schools
calculate what the Federal Government calls the cost per student (CPS).
This figure is re-calculated each school year. The CPS is charged for each
student attending the school. The CPS is deducted from tuition fees paid
and the remainder qualifies as a charitable donation for tax purposes. |

** Not all families are taxed at the same rate. Most families should
receive a donation credit of at least 40%. Families at the highest
marginal tax rate would receive a donation credit of 46%. |
