The DTC and Other Credits: A Gateway to More Benefits (Part 3/5)

Being eligible for the DTC is the key to accessing a number of other valuable tax credits and benefits. These include:

• Child Disability Benefit (CDB): A tax-free monthly payment for families who care for a child under the age of 18 with a severe and prolonged impairment.

• Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP): A long-term savings plan to help people with disabilities and their families save for the future. You must be eligible for the DTC to open an RDSP.

• Canada Caregiver Credit: A non-refundable tax credit for a caregiver who supports a dependent with a physical or mental impairment.
