For people living with disabilities, the most valuable tax credit for them or their supporting family member is the disability tax credit (DTC). For 2021, it can be worth between $1,609 (Quebec) and $2,793 (Alberta) of combined federal and provincial tax savings, depending on your province of residence.
The stated purpose of the DTC is to provide tax relief for non-itemizable, disability-related costs of someone who has been certified by a qualified medical practitioner as having a “severe and prolonged disability.” The credit amount is indexed to inflation annually and can be transferred to a supporting spouse, common-law partner, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, nephew or niece of the individual. Families caring for eligible children with severe and prolonged impairments may be able to claim an additional amount as a supplement to the credit, making the DTC even more valuable.
