The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that helps persons with disabilities and their supporting people offset the extra costs associated with disability. The credit can be claimed on the income tax and benefit return of an eligible individual or of a supporting person (such as a parent or spouse) who incurs eligible expenses on their behalf.
The DTC provides significant benefits to eligible individuals and their families. It can help to reduce the financial burden of disability-related expenses, such as medical treatments, attendant care, and home renovations. The credit can also provide peace of mind, knowing that there is financial support available to help manage the challenges of living with a disability.
