Personal Health Expenses
In many cases health plan related expenses can be declared as tax deductible expenses when filing
taxes. This is true for both individual plans and employee benefit plans.
According to the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA), the premiums for a private health insurance plan that
cover yourself, your spouse and/or children are eligible tax deductions. This also includes premiums that
cover a common law partner. The taxes paid on these premiums are also eligible tax deductions.
Know that out-of-pocket medical expenses (e.g. eligible expenses for things not covered by your health
plan due to pan maximums) are also eligible.
Other possible tax deductions are things such as vehicle modifications and mobility aids required for
medical reasons.
For a complete listing of tax deductible medically-related expenses see the CRA web site here.
