The Ontario Seniors’ Home Safety Tax Credit

The Seniors’ Home Safety Tax Credit is worth 25% of up to $10,000 in eligible expenses for a senior’s principal residence in Ontario. This tax credit helps pay for home safety products and renovations that improve safety and accessibility or help a senior be more functional or mobile at home.

These products and renovations help your loved ones stay safe and comfortable at home, or allow you to stay in your home longer.

 

Canada Care Medical can make your home safer!

We provide a variety of eligible accessibility products and renovations. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Grab Bars and other Bathroom Safety Products
• Wheelchair Ramps
• Stair Lifts

Expenses must be paid or payable in 2021 or 2022.

 

How do I claim this tax credit?

The Seniors’ Home Safety Tax Credit is a refundable personal income tax credit. This means that if you’re eligible, you can get a tax credit regardless of your income or whether you owe income taxes for 2021 or 2022.

You can claim the credit on your 2021 and 2022 Income Tax and Benefit Return.

To claim the tax credit, seniors (seniors who are 65 by the end of 2022) or their family members should get receipts from suppliers and contractors, helping to ensure that vendors report these amounts for tax purposes.

For more information, you can visit the government website here.
