MEASURES CONCERNING INDIVIDUALS

A new refundable tax credit for caregivers

The government is announcing the introduction of a refundable tax credit of up to $2,500 for caregivers. This new tax credit, which will require investments of $532 million over five years, will replace the refundable tax credit for informal caregivers of persons of full age. The tax assistance provided will be higher, streamlined, and available to a greater number of people.

This tax credit will, in particular, double the amount of tax assistance provided to caregivers of a relative with a severe and prolonged impairment.

Impact on payroll: We will advise you as soon as we obtain details on the application of this measure.
