Tax Credit for Home Support in Quebec

In Quebec, certain expenses related to home support may entitle you to a tax credit. This program aims to help seniors stay at home longer while alleviating the costs associated with necessary services.

Who is eligible?

• Seniors aged 70 and over
• Residents of Quebec
• Living at home (house, condo, or private senior's residence)

Which services may be eligible?

Several services may be eligible, including:

• Home monitoring and security
• Administrative support related to aging at home
• Coordination of essential services (maintenance, snow removal, etc.)

How does the refund work?

The tax credit allows you to recover a portion of eligible expenses (up to approximately 39% depending on current criteria). It can be claimed on your income tax return or as advance payments.

Concrete example

An eligible individual spends $5,000 on home support services (maintenance, coordination, administrative support, etc.). With a tax credit of up to approximately 39%, this represents a refund of about $1,950.

In many cases, this credit makes certain services much more affordable and helps extend the ability to remain at home.

How to apply

The tax credit can be obtained in different ways:

• Through the annual income tax return (Schedule J)
• Through advance monthly payments (if eligible)

Supporting documentation generally includes detailed invoices for the services provided.

What is NOT eligible

Some elements are not covered by the credit:

• Major renovation or construction work
• Purchase of materials or equipment
• Services not directly related to home support

It is therefore important to properly structure services to ensure they meet program criteria.

Why proper structuring matters
