Ontario Seniors Care at Home Tax Credit: What does it cover?

Did you know the Ontario government has a refundable tax credit to help seniors with dentures?

The Ontario Seniors Care at Home Tax Credit is a refundable personal income tax credit to help low- to moderate-income seniors with eligible medical expenses, including expenses that support aging at home.

The Seniors Care at Home Tax Credit provides up to 25% of claimable expenses up to $6,000, and the credit provides a maximum of $1,500 for those with an annual income of $35,000. This amount is reduced by 5% of family net income over $35,000 and fully phased out by at most $65,000.

According to the Government of Ontario website:

Who is eligible

You are eligible to claim the credit if you:

    • turned 70 years of age or older in the year, or have a spouse or common‐law partner who turned 70 years of age or older in the year; and
    • are resident in Ontario at the end of the tax year.

There is a list of eligible expenses such as dentures, attendant care, hearing aids, walking aids, bathrooms aids and wheelchairs. Here is an example of a couple who claimed the Ontario Seniors Care at Home Tax Credit:

Phyllis and Clarence are a senior couple with annual family net income of $50,000 and claimed medical expenses of $4,500 for dentures. The couple will get tax relief of $375 from the Ontario Seniors Care at Home Tax Credit. (This example is not meant to be tax advice; please consult your tax advisor or specialist for specific tax advice on your situation)

The Ontario Seniors Care at Home Tax Credit is a refundable personal income tax credit. This means that if you are eligible, you can get this tax credit regardless of whether you owe income tax for the year.
