Childcare Subsidy CalculatorHow are the fee subsidy rules changing?Effective January 1, 2007, income testing was introduced in the Province of Ontario. To apply for subsidy, you must file an income tax return as the information shown on Line 236 on your most recent Notice of Assessment/ Reassessment, and the amount of your Universal Child Care Benefit (if applicable) will be used to calculate the amount you will have to pay for Child Care. If you are a recent immigrant to Canada, you can still apply but you will need to provide this information when you file your first tax return. Assets and expenses will no longer be considered under the income test. If you already receive a fee subsidy, your fee will be recalculated when you come for your next scheduled review. An exception may be made at your first review if you have a child or children under the age of six; however your Notice of Assessment/ Reassessment is still mandatory. Use the following Child Care Fee Calculator to determine how much you will pay for child care. |
