Starting in tax year 2021, a $500 nonrefundable PEI children’s wellness tax credit is available to families with children who participated in eligible wellness activities. This credit helps offset the cost of registration or membership for your child.

The participating child must have been under 18 at the start of the year in which the activity fees were paid. Visit the CRA website for more information, including which activities qualify.
