Updated June 2023. One common misconception about the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is that it holds no value for recipients of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP).
While the non-refundable tax credit portion of the Disability Tax Credit is often the focus, ODSP recipients typically don’t have any taxes payable, so they can’t directly benefit from this part of the credit. However, this doesn’t mean that individuals on ODSP cannot leverage the other benefits offered by the Disability Tax Credit.
