Disability Tax Credit |
The disability tax credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that helps people with impairments, or their supporting family member, reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay.
If you have a severe and prolonged impairment, you may apply for the credit. If you are approved, you may claim the credit at tax time.
By reducing the amount of income tax you may have to pay, the DTC aims to offset some of the extra costs related to the impairment. Learn More |

Opportunities To Serve Canada |
"... This [volunteering] spirit resonates with a cherished principle in Shia Ismaili culture – the importance of contributing one's individual energies on a voluntary basis to improving the lives of others. This is not a matter of philanthropy, but rather of self-fulfillment – “enlightened self-fulfillment.” " - His Highness the Aga Khan, from his address to both Houses of the Parliament of Canada in Ottawa on the 27th of February 2014. Opportunities to Serve Canada provides a wide range of philanthropic causes no matter where you are from and who you know. Contributions can be made based on your interests and expertise! READ MORE |
