IDC/BCANDS National Disability Tax Credit (DTC) Navigation Program Overview / On-Line Request For Services |

The IDC/BCANDS National Disability Tax Credit (DTC) Navigation Program is a free service dedicated to assist eligible persons with disabilities in obtaining their DTC Certificate.

This program has been developed in response to the upcoming implementation and delivery of the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) which will become available to eligible persons with disabilities in July of 2025.

In order to be eligible to apply for and receive the Canada Disability Benefit, applicants will have to hold a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate.

The Disability Tax Credit is a “gateway” benefit that must be obtained by persons with disabilities in order to access certain health and disability benefits such as the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), the Canadian Dental Plan, the Canada Disability Benefit and it can also reduce your income tax owing if you are working.

If you are a person with a disability and need assistance in applying for and obtaining your Disability Tax Credit Certificate, we may be able to assist!
