Canada Caregiver Credit $2,616 – $8,375- September 2025 Deposit Schedule & Updates

The Canada Caregiver Credit (CCC) is a non-refundable tax credit that helps reduce the income tax you owe when you support a spouse, partner, child, or other dependant with a physical or mental impairment.

It is not a monthly benefit and does not have a fixed deposit day—you claim it on your tax return.

Who Can Claim It In 2025?

You may claim the CCC if you support:

• Your spouse or common-law partner with an impairment
• An eligible dependant (such as your child) with an impairment
• Certain other relatives (for example, a parent or grandparent) who meet the rules
  In most cases, you’ll need a medical practitioner’s statement or an approved T2201 Disability Tax Credit Certificate showing the impairment and the support required.

How Much Can You Claim In 2025?

Key maximums used on the 2025 return include:

• $2,616 when calculating the spouse/common-law partner amount (line 30300) or eligible dependant amount (line 30400)
• Up to $8,375 for a spouse or eligible dependant age 18+ on line 30425 (amount phases in/out based on the dependant’s net income, roughly between $8,397–$28,041)
• $2,616 per child under 18 with an impairment on line 30500

September 2025 Deposit Schedule — Reality Check

There is no September 2025 deposit schedule for the Canada Caregiver Credit. Because the CCC is a tax credit, you won’t see a monthly or quarterly payment.

Any financial benefit shows up after you file—if the credit reduces your tax below what you already paid, the difference is part of your tax refund.

How And When You’ll See Money Back

• If you are owed a refund, it’s issued after your return is assessed.
• Filing online and enabling direct deposit is typically the fastest way to receive any refund linked to claiming the CCC.

How To Claim The CCC In 2025

• Collect documentation: a medical statement or an approved T2201 as required.
• Check income: confirm the dependant’s net income to determine which lines and amounts apply (e.g., 30300, 30400, 30425, 30450, 30500).
• Complete Schedule 5 and the relevant return lines.
• File electronically and choose direct deposit for quicker refunds.

September 2025 Updates At A Glance

• The headline amounts remain $2,616 and up to $8,375 across the applicable lines for 2025.
• The CCC continues to be a non-refundable tax credit with no fixed deposit dates—it applies when you file your taxes.

The Canada Caregiver Credit provides meaningful tax relief for families supporting loved ones with impairments.

For the 2025 return, you can generally claim $2,616 for a spouse/eligible dependant or an infirm child under 18, and up to $8,375 for qualifying adult dependants, depending on net income and the line you claim.
