DISABILITY TAX CREDIT TOOLS (IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)

Benefits2 Disability Tax Credit Tool
Benefits2 provides an online tool to help people with disabilities and their medical practitioners to complete the Disability Tax Credit Application.


CRA Disability Tax Credit
The disability tax credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that helps people with disabilities, or their supporting family member, reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay.


Disability Alliance BC Disability Tax Credit Tool
DABC and Access RDSP have created a tool individuals can use to assist their medical practitioner with completing their Disability Tax Credit application.

To apply for the DTC, you must complete and submit the T2201 Disability Tax Credit Form, which must be certified by a medical practitioner.

DTC Application Guide
P4P has created a step-by-step guide to help you through the DTC application process.

 

OTHER DTC RESOURCES

The Child Disability Benefit (CDB) is a tax-free monthly payment made to families who care for a child under age 18 with a severe and prolonged impairment in physical or mental functions. To be eligible you must qualify for the Canada Child Benefit and the Disability Tax Credit. 

Canada’s Workers Benefit (CWB) Disability Supplement
The CWB helps people with low income who get most of their income from employment. If you qualify for the DTC and are working, you may also receive more support with the CWB Disability Supplement. 

Canada Caregiver Credit (CCC)
The CCC is available to those who provide family members with physical or mental impairments with food, shelter and clothing. The tax credit is non-refundable. This means the government will not pay money for the credit if you do not owe income taxes. If your family member is eligible for the DTC, you do not need a signed letted from your doctor to receive the credit.
