General information

Disability tax credit

The disability tax credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that helps persons with disabilities or their supporting persons reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay.

For more information, go to canada.ca/disability-tax-credit or see Guide RC4064, Disability-Related Information.

Eligibility

A person with a severe and prolonged impairment in physical or mental functions may be eligible for the DTC. To find out if you may be eligible for the DTC, fill out the self-assessment questionnaire in Guide RC4064, Disability-Related Information.
