Disability tax credit (DTC)
Apply with the new digital form
Applicants can now complete Part A of the DTC application using the new digital form.
Medical practitioners may use the DTC digital application to fill out Part B of Form T2201, Disability tax credit certificate. Once completed it will be automatically submitted to the CRA.
The disability tax credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that helps people with impairments, or their supporting family member, reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay.
If you have a severe and prolonged impairment, you may apply for the credit. If you are approved, you may claim the credit at tax time.
By reducing the amount of income tax you may have to pay, the DTC aims to offset some of the extra costs related to the impairment.
