Income Tax: If you qualify for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC), it is essential that you apply for the DTC along with your 2007 tax return. Even if you do not receive any income, eligibility for the Registered Disabilty Savings Plan (RDSP) will be based on whether you are eligible for the DTC. As well, the Canada Disability Savings Grants and Bond that are associated with the new RDSP will be based on the previous year’s income. For more information and how to apply for the DTC see the Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network’s blog http://rdsp.wordpress.
