Claiming lessons as a personal tax deduction is only available through a music school which holds the certification of a, "Certified Educational Institute." This title is very specific, and is offered to only a select few organizations. It is a title which authorizes an educational center amendments to the Income Tax Act for the purpose of allowing students enrolled in a Federally qualified educational program to receive Tax deductions. These deductions are authorized through a roll number filed in Ottawa. The roll number is checked against any Tax deduction claims made by a student for tuition, books, or extra curricular
material(s). The qualification of, "Certified Educational Institute," is for tax registry associated to a specific curriculum only. It holds no association to the qualification of instructors teaching any of the programs at these certified institute.
