School tax

The school tax rate is the same everywhere in Québec: $0.07899 per $100 of assessment in 2026-2027, after an exemption on the first $25,000 of value. Calculate your school tax in the tax receipt

What is missing

The financial statements of school service centres, up-to-date official enrolment and graduation rates by body are not published in any open file (only as PDFs on each body's website or in a Ministère dashboard). They are therefore not shown here.
