Disability Tax Credit | Tues., Jan. 14, 2025, 4-4:45pm PST
The Canadian Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit designed to reduce the income tax burden for individuals living with significant and prolonged physical or mental impairments. It aims to offset costs associated with disabilities and helps ensure greater financial equity. Eligibility is determined through an application certified by a medical practitioner and requires meeting specific criteria of impairment. The DTC can also provide benefits for eligible dependents and open access to other financial programs like the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP).
