Are you buying your first home or a more accessible home for a disabled person (yourself or someone related to you)? The tax credit for access to homeownership can help.

The solidarity tax credit is a refundable tax credit for low- and middle-income people and families. It is based on your situation on December 31 and paid over a 12-month period beginning on July 1 of the following year.

The shelter allowance program provides financial assistance for low-income people and families that spend the bulk of their budget on housing.

If you have an eligible child, you can claim a refundable tax credit for your childcare expenses. To be eligible, your child must be under 16 at some point in the year or be your or your spouse’s dependant because of a mental or physical infirmity (regardless of age). The credit is based on your family income (your income plus your spouse’s, if applicable).

The amount for a person living alone reduces your income tax. You may be eligible if, throughout the year, you lived alone or only with people under 18 or your children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren 18 or over who were full-time students pursuing vocational training at the secondary level or post-secondary studies.

You can deduct the moving expenses you paid in 2025 if you meet the conditions.

We offer free information sessions to help you understand your rights and obligations based on your situation. 

You can use the online services in My Account for individuals to find your tax information and claim tax credits.

This leaflet is for individuals who want help from the income tax assistance program to get the benefits and credits they are entitled to.
