DISABILITIES
The disability tax credit is a tax credit for qualified persons with disabilities. The purpose of the disability tax credit is to reduce the amount of income tax you pay. The disability tax credit can be awarded retroactively, which can result in you getting paid a tax refund from previous years. These are disabilities you may be eligible for.
Citizens of Canada can either be born with a physical disability or develop one later in life through natural causes or a tragic accident. No matter what the cause is or the symptoms you are experiencing as long as the condition restricts your ability to perform everyday functions.
