5 Tax Credits Most Canadian Retirees Never Claim (And They're Worth Thousands)

#mapleMoney #canadiantax #retirementcanada #cratax #canadianretirees How many tax credits are you leaving on the table every year as a Canadian retiree? In this video, I break down the 5 tax credits most retirees in Canada never claim, even though every single one is worth real money, sometimes thousands of dollars per year. We'll cover the Age Amount Credit, the Pension Income Amount paired with pension splitting, the Disability Tax Credit (DTC), the Medical Expense Tax Credit, and the Canada Caregiver Credit, with the exact CRA line numbers you need at tax time. Most Canadian retirees walk past these credits year after year simply because nobody told them they existed. The CRA isn't going to call you up and remind you. By the end of this video, you'll know which credits you qualify for, how to claim them, and how to backdate the DTC to recover refunds from previous years.
