Tax credit for respite of caregivers (Québec)

Responsibility : Revenu Québec

If you are a caregiver, you may be entitled to a refundable tax credit for expenses incurred in obtaining specialized respite services.

The maximum tax credit is $1560 per year. The credit equals 30% of the total expenses incurred during the year to obtain specialized respite services for the care and supervision of a person, up to $5200.

You can claim the credit if you fulfil the following two conditions:
 

  • you resided in Québec on December 31 of the taxation year in question;
     
  • you paid to obtain specialized respite services for the care and supervision of a person with a significant disability.
