Accountants Specializing in the Disability Tax Credit Program

Count Smart was founded by a team of individuals that have worked in the Disability Tax Credit field for many years. We formed a group with the purpose of better serving persons with medical conditions that qualify for the disability tax credit program. We offer personalized service, assigning a case specialist to each case to help people with the Disability Tax Credit application process.

We know that some medical conditions are difficult to talk about. An individual case specialist gives our clients peace of mind knowing that a knowledgeable, helpful professional is assigned specifically to help them submit their Disability Tax Credit application. When you contact us, you will not be reaching a call centre or speaking to an answering machine. You will be dealing directly with your assigned specialist who is ready to listen, answer your questions, and help you get the maximum refund you can get.

The Disability Tax Credit Program (DTC) is an incentive offered by the government of Canada to help individuals with medical conditions that affect their everyday life to ease some of the expenses that may arise from medical costs. We have helped thousands of Canadians of varying ages and income levels recover up to $40,000 and more depending on the province you reside in.

With our team of accountants specializing in disability refunds, we can help you get the financial relief you or your loved ones deserve. Navigating through the paperwork can be difficult, but you are not alone. We offer a free telephone consultation to help you find out if you are eligible. Once you know that you qualify, we ensure a worry-free filing process. We communicate directly with your physicians and Canada Revenue Agency on your behalf, and work to maximize your refunds.

We encourage you to call our toll-free number at 1-844-832-1777 if you have any questions. You can also use our online form to get in touch.

Key Benefits of the DTC

The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is more than just a tax credit—it’s a gateway to financial relief and long-term support for Canadians living with disabilities. Whether you’re applying for yourself or a loved one, the DTC offers significant advantages that can make a real difference in your life. Here’s a closer look at the key benefits:

1. Reduce Your Income Tax Bill

The primary benefit of the DTC is its ability to lower the amount of income tax you owe. This non-refundable tax credit is applied directly to your taxable income, reducing the total amount of tax you need to pay. For many Canadians, this can result in substantial savings, freeing up funds for other essential expenses.

2. Retroactive Refunds: Claim Up to 10 Years of Past Benefits

One of the most valuable aspects of the DTC is the opportunity to claim retroactive refunds for up to 10 years. If you were eligible for the DTC in previous years but didn’t apply, you can still claim those benefits now.

3. Access Additional Benefits and Programs

Qualifying for the DTC opens the door to other valuable government programs designed to support individuals with disabilities. One of the most notable is the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), a long-term savings plan that helps Canadians with disabilities and their families save for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

You can apply for the Disability Tax Credit refund retroactively for up to 10 years. If approved, you may receive a refund for taxes paid during those years. This retroactive claim can result in a significant lump-sum payment, making it a valuable opportunity for those who may have been eligible in the past but didn’t apply.
Yes, the DTC can be claimed for children with disabilities. The credit can be transferred to a supporting parent or guardian, reducing their taxable income. Additionally, qualifying for the DTC may open doors to other benefits, such as the Canada Child Disability Benefit (CCDB), which provides monthly financial support to families.
If your application is denied, you have the right to request a review or appeal against the decision. The CRA may ask for additional documentation or clarification about your condition. Our team can assist you in preparing a strong case for reconsideration, including gathering medical evidence and ensuring all forms are completed accurately.
Yes, the DTC is separate from other disability benefits, such as CPP Disability or Workers’ Compensation. You can claim the DTC in addition to these benefits. Qualifying for the DTC may also make you eligible for other programs, such as the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), which helps individuals with disabilities save for the future.
Processing times can vary, but it typically takes 8-12 weeks for the CRA to review and approve an application. However, incomplete or incorrectly filled-out forms can cause delays. Working with our specialists ensures your application is error-free and processed as quickly as possible, helping you secure your disability tax credit refund sooner.
