Frequently Asked Questions About Canadian Tax Credits
A tax credit directly reduces the amount of tax you owe, dollar-for-dollar, while a tax deduction lowers your taxable income, which can indirectly reduce your tax bill. For example, a $1,000 credit reduces your taxes by $1,000, but a $1,000 deduction saves you only a portion of that amount based on your tax rate.
Yes! Most Canadians can claim both federal and provincial/territorial tax credits where eligible. Some credits are coordinated between the two levels, while others are unique to your province. Visit our individual and business tax credit pages for details.
Some frequently overlooked credits include the Disability Tax Credit, Medical Expense Credit, tuition and education credits, caregiver and family credits, and various provincial incentives. Review our province-specific pages to ensure you’re not missing out!
