Tax Relief for Families

A new Conservative government will introduce two tax credits for kids’ activities to put more money back in the pockets of families.

A Children’s Fitness Tax Credit will:

• Allow parents to claim up to $1,000 per child for expenses related to fitness or sports-related activities;
• Make the credit refundable so low-income Canadians benefit most; and,
• Allow parents of children with disabilities to claim an additional $500 per child, per year.

A Children’s Arts and Learning Tax Credit will:

• Allow parents to claim up to $500 per child for expenses related to arts and educational activities;
• Make the credit refundable so low-income Canadians benefit most;
• Make it flexible, so children can get extra help studying a language or learning science, math or coding; and,
• Allow parents of children with disabilities to claim double the amount, up to $1,000 per child, per year.
