The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has replaced their former Interpretation Bulletins (IR) with Income Tax Folios.
The former bulletin used by many providers (including The Benefits Trust) as a common reference for determining eligible and ineligible expenses for Health Care Spending Accounts and executive benefits plans was IT-519R2, Medical Expense and Disability Tax Credits and Attendant Care Expense Deduction. It has been replaced by the following Income Tax Folios: S1-F1-C1, S1-F1-C2, and S1-F1-C3.
