• Your examination fees are paid to an educational institution, professional association, government ministry, or other related institution.

Yes, you may be eligible to deduct the examination fees on your taxes. If you paid at least $100 in examination fees and meet the criteria, you may be able to claim them under the tuition tax credit, which reduces the amount of tax you owe, if any.
