Retour sur le webinaire « Impôts et mesures fiscales : des ressources clés pour la communauté FK »

Tenue le 7 avril 2026, cette rencontre virtuelle présentée par Finandicap a permis à la communauté FK de mieux comprendre les mesures fiscales et ressources financières disponibles en période d’impôts. Avec 33 inscriptions et 13 participants, le webinaire a mis en lumière l’importance du Crédit d’impôt pour personnes handicapées (CIPH), véritable porte d’entrée vers de nombreux programmes comme la PCPH et le REEI, la mesure fiscale la plus avantageuse au Canada. Les échanges ont aussi porté sur les soins thérapeutiques reconnus pour la fibrose kystique, les démarches à entreprendre, le rôle des proches aidants et l’importance de produire ses impôts chaque année, même sans revenu. Une ressource essentielle pour favoriser l’autonomie financière et l’accès aux droits de la communauté FK.
