What is the Disability Tax Credit (DTC)? The DTC is a non-refundable tax credit which helps reduce the income tax that people with physical or mental impairments, or their supporting family members, may have to pay. It aims to offset some of the costs related to the impairment. The great thing about the DTC is that once you are approved, it will automatically be applied to future tax years! Follow up support provided. Resource packet included in workshop offerings.
