Disability tax credit consultations

As part of the Government’s commitment to Canadians with disabilities, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is continuously looking to improve the administration of the disability tax credit (DTC). In support of this commitment, the CRA conducted public consultations with Canadians in the fall of 2014.

The public consultations had two objectives:

1. obtain feedback on simplifying the DTC application process and improving communication surrounding the credit
2. obtain suggestions for establishing the maximum fee for completing a DTC request and related reporting exemptions to be set in regulations in support of the new Disability Tax Credit Promoters Restrictions Act (DTCPRA)

Canadians were invited to provide feedback via the CRA website, in writing, and through in-person consultation sessions.

The disability tax credit consultations report is now available. For more information on the proposed regulations, go to Questions and answers to the proposed Disability Tax Credit Promoters Restrictions Regulations.
