Refundable Tax Credit for chlidren's activities - Quebec

You can claim a refundable tax credit for the physical activities or artistic, cultural, or recreational activities of an eligible child, if you meet all the requirements.

 A) You were resident in Quebec on December 31 of the tax year;

B) You or your spouse on December 31 2021     have paid in the tax year fees for recognized activities.

C) Your family net income does not exceed the maximum allowable. (Your family income is the amount on line         275 of you and your spouse on December 31 of 2021).

 D) You have a receipt that constitutes a proof of payment of eligible expenses for eligible activities. We suggest you keep your receipt to provide it to Revenu Quebec       upon request.

 

For the first year, in 2013 was at $100 per child at a rate of 20% for the 2013 taxation year, so a refundable credit of $20. This limit will increase gradually by increments of $100 per year up to $500 per child at a rate of 20% as of the 2017 taxation year, for a refundable credit amount of $00 at term.

For a child who is entitled to the tax credit for disabled persons, the amount of the refundable credit will be twice as high.

The eligible child of an individual is any child of the individual who, at the beginning of a particular taxation year, is at least 5 but not yet 16 years of age, or not yet 18 years of age if the children have a severe and prolonged impairment in mental or physical functions.
