(OT) Canadian taxes for celiacs-gluren ontolerance

[Guest guest]

Hello fellow Canadians, I have found out that with the help of a great

DAN DR. I could get the form signed to have some tax benefit for the

expeses of the diet. Do you know exactly what we can claim? Any advice

so I don't waste time learning the hard way-you( know the governemnt

doesn't always tell you everything.) Thanks alot. Toni mom to Matteo

ASD, SCD since Oct 2005

Hi there! You would need to investigate 'medical expenses' on the

gov't website. I can tell you this much...doctors have been unwilling

to write the prescription required to use this credit for anything

other than a confirmed celiac disease. If you can get your DAN! doc to

do thise for you, that would be awesome. It is quite time consuming to

claim this, as you can only claim the difference in cost between

regular and gluten free foods. I'll paste the link here, but in case it

doesn't work, i'll add the gov't site....under individuals, search

for 'medical expenses'. Hope this helps! Cindy

1. You must have a celiac diagnosis from the doctor. The deduction in Canada is

for

Celiacs.

2. Save recipts for SCD foods example: nut flour

Include the price of a comparable food when you declare on the tax form.
