The disability tax credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that helps persons with disabilities, or their supporting family members, reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay. To be eligible, an individual must have a severe and prolonged impairment in physical or mental functions, as defined in the Income Tax Act and as certified by a medical practitioner.
If you or someone you know could benefit from the disability tax credit, please apply.
