Reporting of Wellness Spending Account Claims as Taxable Benefits

Employees with Spending Accounts have the choice to allocate the credits between their Health Spending Account (non-taxable) and Wellness Spending Account (taxable). Wellness Spending Account claims are taxable at the time the claim is reimbursed.

Beginning with calendar year 2025, Wellness Spending Account claims reimbursed by Alberta Blue Cross will be reported by the University of Lethbridge as a taxable benefit in the pay period following the reimbursement. This will appear as Misc Taxable Benefits in the earnings section on your Pay Stub. Statutory deductions (Tax, Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance) will be deducted based on the amount of the taxable benefit. Employees may notice a reduction in their net pay as a result.

Contact pension.benefits@uleth.ca if you have questions.
