Easier access to disability tax credit

The Liberal government’s plan to make it easier for Canadians living with disabilities to apply for the disability tax credit is being welcomed by advocates and even the Opposition.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, whose daughter has autism and is non-verbal, is among those praising the reforms.

The non-refundable credit helps Canadian adults with disabilities lower the amount of income tax they have to pay by a maximum of just over $1,500.
