7 Quebec Tax Credits to Claim in 2026 to Maximize Your Refund

Tax season has just begun for 2025, but planning ahead can lead to significant savings when you file your 2025 return in 2026. Several Quebec tax credits could place hundreds of dollars back in your pocket. Most individuals have until April 30, 2025, to submit their tax return and pay any amounts owing. Self-employed workers and their spouses have until June 15, 2025, to file their 2024 income tax returns without penalty.

Here are seven tax credits to consider when preparing your 2025 tax return for the 2024 tax year:

7. Disability Tax Credit (DTC)

The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) assists individuals with disabilities and their caregivers in reducing their income tax obligations. For the 2025 tax year, the maximum claimable amount for an eligible individual is $10,138. An additional amount of $5,914 may be claimed if the eligible individual was under 18 at the end of 2025, subject to certain conditions. As a non-refundable tax credit, it doesn’t result in a direct payment but reduces the amount of tax payable. A medical certificate completed by a healthcare professional must be submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency to benefit from the DTC. More details on the Disability Tax Credit
