If you’re an athlete who lived in Québec on December 31st and you were recognized in 2017 by the Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur as a top-level athlete, you can claim the tax credit for a top-level Québec athlete.
You’ll need the certificate issued to you by the Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur to claim the tax credit. Remember to keep your certificate on file just in case Revenu Québec asks to see it.
Where do I claim this?
