Established by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the DTC is designed to reduce the income tax burden on eligible individuals or their supporting family members. It plays a vital role in supporting those who face financial challenges due to disability-related expenses. In this guide, we'll explore what the DTC is, who qualifies, how to apply, and the benefits it offers.

What Is the Disability Tax Credit?
The DTC is a non-refundable tax credit aimed at reducing the amount of income tax payable by people with disabilities or those who support them. While it does not provide direct financial payments, it can lead to substantial tax savings. For many individuals, the DTC is also a gateway to other government benefits and programs, such as the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), which helps people save for long-term financial security.

The credit acknowledges that living with a disability often entails additional, unavoidable costs that are not fully covered by other public or private means. It helps to alleviate some of this financial burden.

Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the Disability Tax Credit, a person must:

Have a severe and prolonged impairment in physical or mental functions.

Be certified by a qualified medical practitioner, such as a doctor, psychologist, or occupational therapist.

Experience limitations in at least one of the following areas:

Walking

Speaking

Hearing

Vision

Mental functions necessary for everyday life

Dressing

Feeding oneself

Eliminating (bladder or bowel functions)

Life-sustaining therapy (requiring at least 14 hours per week)

The impairment must have lasted, or be expected to last, for at least 12 consecutive months.

Who Can Claim the Credit?
The DTC can be claimed by:

The person with the disability (if they have taxable income).

A supporting family member (if the person with the disability has little or no income).

Supporting individuals may include a spouse, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew.

How to Apply for the Disability Tax Credit
The process for applying for the DTC involves completing and submitting Form T2201 – Disability Tax Credit Certificate. Here's how the process works:

Download Form T2201 from the CRA website.

Fill out Part A (basic personal information).

Have a qualified medical practitioner complete Part B, which details the impairment and its effects.

Submit the form to the CRA by mail or online through the CRA's My Account service.

Once the CRA reviews the application, they will send a notice of determination, stating whether the individual qualifies and for which years.

Medical Practitioners Who Can Certify
Depending on the nature of the impairment, the following medical professionals can certify the form:

Medical doctors (all conditions)

Optometrists (vision)

Audiologists (hearing)

Occupational therapists (walking, feeding, dressing)

Psychologists (mental functions)

Speech-language pathologists (speaking)

Physiotherapists (walking)

Nurses and nurse practitioners (various conditions)

Duration and Retroactive Claims
If approved, the DTC can be applied retroactively for up to 10 years. This means if an individual has been eligible for years but never claimed it, they can request adjustments to past tax returns to receive refunds.

Approval can also be granted for a specific number of years or indefinitely, depending on the medical condition. If temporary, individuals may need to reapply once the approved period ends.

Financial Benefits of the DTC
As of 2024, the federal Disability Amount is approximately $9,428 for adults. For minors, an additional supplement of around $5,500 may apply. When claimed, this credit can reduce the amount of federal tax owed, and similar credits exist at the provincial/territorial level, further increasing potential savings.

While it does not provide cash payments directly, in combination with other benefits, the DTC can represent thousands of dollars in tax relief.

Impact on Other Programs
Qualifying for the DTC can also make a person eligible for:
