Disability Tax Credit

The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax benefit available in Canada that helps individuals with disabilities or their supporting family members reduce their income tax payable. It recognizes the additional expenses and challenges faced by those with disabilities, such as medical costs or mobility needs. To qualify, applicants must have a severe impairment that significantly restricts daily activities and obtain certification from a healthcare professional. The DTC can also make individuals eligible for other benefits, like the Canada Worker Benefit or the Registered Disability Savings Plan. It aims to provide financial relief and support for people with disabilities.
