You can claim medical expenses you or your spouse or common-law partner paid for any of the following persons:

·        yourself;

·        your spouse or common-law partner;

·        your or your spouse or common-law partner's child or grandchild who depended on you for support; and

·        your or your spouse or common-law partner's parent, grandparent, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, niece, or nephew who lived in Canada at any time in the year and depended on you for support.

You can claim medical expenses paid in any 12-month period ending in 2002 and not claimed for 2001. Generally, you can claim all amounts paid, even if they were not paid in Canada. Your total expenses have to be more than either 3% of your net income (line 236) or $1,728, whichever is less.

On the return for a person who died in 2002, a claim can be made for expenses paid in any 24-month period that includes the date of death, if they were not claimed for any other year.

Under proposed changes, if you are claiming expenses paid for a person who died in the year, these amounts can be claimed for any 24-month period that includes the date of death. This change is effective for 2001 and later years. If this affects how you would have filed your return for 2001, you can ask us to change it. See "How do you change a return?".

If you claim medical expenses for a dependant (other than your spouse or common-law partner) whose net income is more than $7,634, you have to reduce your claim. See line 331 for details.

There is a refundable tax credit for working individuals with low incomes and high medical expenses (see line 452).
