About Disability Tax Credits Canada

Canada's most complete free resource for the Disability Tax Credit, built to help Canadians understand, estimate, and claim what they deserve.

Making the DTC Accessible to Every Canadian

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit, but a significant number never claim it, simply because the process is confusing, unclear, or under-communicated by the CRA.

Disability Tax Credits Canada was created to change that. Our mission is to provide clear, accurate, and completely free guidance on the DTC, from eligibility rules and qualifying conditions to province-specific rates and a working calculator.

We believe every eligible Canadian deserves to receive the tax relief they are entitled to. The DTC is not a government gift, it is a recognition of the real and ongoing costs of living with a disability in Canada.
