Last year, DABC launched our updated online Disability Tax Credit (DTC) tool, called “My DTC”, to help people get the DTC process started. It has info on benefits, eligibility, and the overall process, as well as some tools to help with applying.  

Check it out here: https://mydtc.dabc.ca/ 

My DTC now has a French language version! Check it out here: https://monciph.dabc.ca/

The French language version of the app was developed in partnership with Finautonome.

The DTC is a non-refundable tax credit that reduces the amount of income tax you owe. The credit can go back up to 10 years, and unused credit amounts can be transferred to eligible caregivers. Even if you don’t pay income tax, the DTC may be worth applying for because it acts as a gateway to other benefits or financial programs, like the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP),  Canada Disability Benefit, Canada Workers Benefit Disability Supplement, Child Disability Benefit, and more. 

Note that My DTC does not allow you to apply for the Disability Tax Credit directly. That’s done through the Canada Revenue Agency. But we hope you’ll still find it useful to help gather all the information needed to apply.
