Child Fitness Tax Credit CanadaStarting with the 2007 tax year, the Government of Canada allows a non-refundable tax credit based on eligible child fitness expenses paid up to $500 per child by parents to register a child in a prescribed program of physical activity. The children’s fitness tax credit lets parents claim up to $500 per year for eligible fitness expenses paid for each child who is under 16 years of age at the beginning of the year in which the expenses are paid. |

If a child qualifies for the disability tax credit, parents can claim up to $500 per year in eligible fitness expenses paid for the child who is under 18 years of age at the beginning of the year. Also, if at least $100 in eligible fitness expenses has been paid for the child, an additional amount of $500 can be added to the eligible fitness expenses actually incurred.
Please note that the child fitness tax credit will be calculated using the lowest tax rate (15% for 2008), so the maximum tax credit per child for 2008 will be $75.
