If you support a spouse, common-law partner, or dependant with a physical or mental impairment, then the Canada caregiver credit (CCC) may be available to you. This nonrefundable tax credit is designed to help caregivers with the costs and expenses of providing care to loved ones.

  2. Select Caregiver Tax Credit from the search results, then select Go.
