If you provided volunteer respite services to the caregiver of a person with a significant long-term disability (the care recipient), you may be entitled to a refundable tax credit.
Caregivers are assigned an amount of $1000 to be divided among volunteers who provide respite services.
Each volunteer named by the caregiver may claim a maximum of $500 as a refundable tax credit. To claim the credit, the volunteer named by the caregiver must have provided at least 400 hours of home respite services for the same care recipient during the year.
