New Children's Arts Tax Credit
The Government of Canada has recognized that "participation in artistic, cultural, recreational and developmental activities can positively contribute to a child's development". To help offset the costs associated with these activities, the Canada Revenue Agency has implemented a Children's Art Tax Credit (CATC).
