Guide to income tax and benefits: 2021 tax year
Our “Guide to income tax and benefits” for the 2021 tax year is now available. This guide provides useful tax tips for discussing with your tax preparer.
With taxes due on April 30, 2022 (extended to May 2, 2022 since April 30 is a Saturday), the Alzheimer Society of B.C. has prepared the annual Guide to Income Tax and Benefits to provide some basic tips that may be particularly useful for people living with dementia and their caregivers. This year’s guide continues to include information relating to some relevant COVID-19 relief benefits and their tax implications.
Please note that the information provided in the guide is only a summary, with the purpose to alert caregivers and people living with dementia about some options they may want to consider discussing with their tax preparer.
For complete information about any personal tax matters, we encourage individuals to contact the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) by calling 1-800-959-8281 or by visiting their website at alzbc.org/cra. Income tax rules are complicated and subject to change every year, so we encourage you to get professional help with your income taxes.
