December 2023

DABC has updated our Disability Tax Credit (DTC) online tool! The tool now more closely reflects the eligibility criteria and format of the updated DTC application.

Check it out here: https://disabilityalliancebc.org/dtc-app/.

This tool is designed to give your healthcare provider the information they need to fill out the DTC application.

We are seeking feedback on the DTC application process as well as our updated online tool, in order to make more substantial changes to the tool next year. We are first seeking this feedback by asking people to complete an online survey. Complete the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/dtc-survey-dabc.

People who complete this survey by January 15 will be eligible to enter a random draw for a $50 gift card of your choice.

This survey was prepared by Disability Alliance BC, part of Access RDSP, a partnership between DABC, Plan Institute, and the British Columbia Aboriginal Network on Disability Society (BCANDS). It should take ~15 minutes to complete.

To be eligible for this survey, you should have a disability or restriction that may be eligible for the DTC (whether currently or in the past) and either:

• Have applied for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC)
• Have researched and thought about applying for the DTC

Any feedback you provide will guide development and improvement of free resources, tools, and services that assist people in applying for the Canadian Disability Tax Credit (DTC). Thank you!
