The new Canada caregiver credit is a non-refundable tax credit that may be available to you if you support a spouse, common-law partner or a dependent with a physical or mental impairment. It combines the old caregiver credit, the family caregiver credit and the credit for infirm dependants age 18 or older. It is meant to simplify the process of applying the credits for those who qualify.
