The Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) Disability Advisory Committee (DAC) released its 2022 annual report today. The report includes 10 recommendations for potential improvements to the disability tax credit (DTC) and its administration.
The report also recognizes the progress the CRA has made to improve its services for persons with disabilities, including:
- legislative changes to the eligibility for the DTC under the categories of mental functions and life-sustaining therapy
- launch of a digital DTC application to make the application process simpler for both medical practitioners and individuals
- a Navigator to support people with more complex situations in completing their applications
