Federal Budget on Tuesday May 2...Explanatory Notes and
Change to the ITA released June 15 2006
http://www.fin.gc.ca/news06/06-024e.html

A comprehensive list of the medical expenses, devices and
equipment is included in the new REVISED Information for
People with Disabilities Guide RC4064, released in December
2005 along with a new form T2201.

Warning, the comprehensive list of medical expenses does
not include certification or documentation requirements.
For that, you need the Income Tax Act.

See the link to RC4064 in my Useful Links and watch for
completely revised RC4064 and T2201 in January 2007

CRA is working on a table that explains medical expenses
for release in 2007, but no one knows when...this is a huge
job!! Anyone who has attended one of my seminars knows
that there are significant criteria to explain how to
actually make a successfuly claim for medical expenses.
