Re: Year 2001 Tax Benefits **CANADA**

[Guest guest]

And for those of you on the list that are fellow Canadians, don't forget

about the T2201 Tax Credit -- " The disability amount is a non-refundable tax

credit which reduces the amount of federal income tax you pay. It is called

" non-refundable " because, even if you don't use the full amount, you do not

receive a refund for the difference. "

Of special note to those of us with children who require intensive speech

therapy: " Expanded certification of Form T2201, Disability Tax Credit

Certificate Subsection 118.3(1)(a.2) of the Income Tax Act was expanded to

allow persons authorized to practice as speech language pathologists to

certify the existence of a severe and prolonged speech impairment for

purposes of the disability tax credit. This change has taken effect October

18, 2000. "
