How to Apply for Tax Credit Using Di
Before applying for the disability tax credit program, we would like to educate you on who is eligible for the tax credit.
There are four questions on Form 2201 which determine if you are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit. To be eligible, the answer yes must apply to all four questions. The questions are as followed: • Does your patient have an impairment in physical or mental functions that has lasted, or is expected to last, for a continuous period of at least 12 months?
• Even with appropriate therapy, medication, and devices, has the impairment resulted in a significant restriction, that is not quite a marked restriction (defined below), in two or more basic activities of daily living or in vision and one or more of the basic activities of daily living? • Do these significant restrictions exist together, all or substantially all of the time (at least 90% of the time)? • Is the cumulative effect of these significant restrictions equivalent to being markedly restricted in a single basic activity of daily living (see examples below)?
Disability Tax Credit Application Form To apply for the Disability Tax Credit, Form 2201 – Disability Tax Credit Certificate must be completed. This form must be completed by a registered medical practitioner.
Disability Tax Credit Types The Disability Tax Credit is available for both children and adults with disabilities. For those under the age of 18, the government offers two types of support programs, including the Child Disability Benefit (CDB) and the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB).
