Disability Tax Credit
The disability tax credit is the money the CRA gives folks with disabilities (or their parents) after the CRA has OK’ed the disability. To quote the CRA on this:
The disability tax credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that
helps persons with disabilities or their supporting persons reduce the
amount of income tax they may have to pay. An individual may claim
the disability amount once they are eligible for the DTC. This amount
includes a supplement for persons under 18 years of age at the end
of the year.
Applying for the DTC can be a cumbersome process, however, I strongly suggest not using any external firm for help, you can do this yourself, and you should, to ensure you keep the money that is due to you.
A Tax Quandary
am in a bit of a tax quandary about whether to file sooner or wait for a reassessment by the CRA. What did I decide and why? Read on and see.
CRA and me: Assessment Excitement
When you get an assessment letter form the CRA it is not time to freak out, read it carefully and give them everything they ask for.
Apply for the DTC Please
Are you not sure about whether you should apply for the dtc (disability tax credit)? If you or your child has a disability, you should! apply as soon as possible.
DTC RDSP Vicious Circle
The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is needed to be able to open an RDSP (Registered Disability Savings Plan). Without the DTC you cannot have an RDSP.
