Disability Tax Credit 

Disability Tax Credit 

The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit designed to reduce the income tax burden for individuals with disabilities or their supporting family members. Eligibility requires certification from a qualified medical practitioner confirming that the individual has a severe and prolonged impairment in physical or mental functions. 

Benefits of the DTC include: 

• Reduction of taxable income, potentially resulting in significant tax savings. 

• Transferability of unused portions to supporting family members. 

• Access to other programs such as the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP).
