Ontario Childcare Access and Relief from Expenses (CARE) Tax Credit
Years affected: 2019-2025
Issue: The Ontario CARE refundable tax credit announced in 2019 budget (April 11). Child Care Expenses and Social benefit repayments were deducted from net income when they should have been added back to net income.
Fix for users who don’t want to download 27.1.1: Ontario CARE is a refundable tax credit and therefore has no further income tax related implications in the model. Users can model this refundable tax credit easily using the User Variable Facility included with the model.
