What is the Disability Tax Credit?

This webinar explains what the Disability Tax Credit is and how to make the best use of it.

The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is a non-refundable federal tax credit that can help reduce the amount of taxes owed by a person with a disability or someone who supports them. It is also a gateway benefit that gives access to other programs such as the Canada Disability Benefit and the Registered Disability Savings Plan.

There are many ways someone can qualify for the DTC, and we know that only about 16% of people who are eligible for this credit are receiving it.

Tune in to learn:

  • What the DTC is and whether you, or the person you care for, may qualify
  • Eligibility criteria and tips for applying
  • What to expect after you submit your application
  • Other programs and benefits connected to the DTC
