Some of you may already know that the Income Tax Act provides a non-refundable Disability Tax Credit to all eligible individuals. This tax credit could be as high as $1,400 per year applied against any income tax you may owe. If you are eligible, this claim can be made retroactively for up to ten years!

It doesn’t matter whether your disability is the result of a workplace injury, an accident, declining health, or a chronic condition.

For more information on the Disability Tax Credit and to obtain a copy of the General Income Tax and Benefit Guide and the Information Concerning People with Disabilities Guide, please contact your local Tax Services Office or visit the Canada Customs and Revenue web site at www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/rc4064/rc4064-e.html#P123_6617
