I am a firm believer in the mantra ‘Information is power’. In my opinion, one of the best things I can do for my own financial health and the health of my child, partner and/or caregiver, is to stay in the know about up-to-date information.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is offering to do just that by putting on some educational webinars to inform me and other people living with a disability of potential benefits and tax breaks we all might be eligible for.

As the new year approaches, so do new beginnings and this may be what is needed. I am looking forward to putting the pandemic challenges behind me as quickly and safely as possible. Having access to these potential benefits and credits looks like a great way to start the new year. Save the dates below and see how CRA can potentially help with your financial health. Hope to see you there!

Canada Revenue Agency is offering the following webinars in January and February:

Persons with Disabilities Benefits and Credits Presentation on January 26, 2021 from 1:30PM – 2:30PM and February 11, 2021 from 1:30PM – 2:30PM.

Family Caregivers Benefits and Credits Presentation on January 27, 2021 from 1:30PM – 2:30PM and February 25, 2021 from 1:30PM– 2:30PM.

Don’t miss out on the benefits and credits to which you may be entitled. Some of the benefits and credits to which you may be eligible for are the Canada child benefit, Disability tax credit, Child disability benefit, Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax Credit, and the Canada Workers Benefit. If you do your taxes after the filing deadline, your payments could be delayed.
