Can we claim RMT (Registered Massage Therapist) Expenses Under Medical Expenses?

Expenses for prescriptions, eye exams and dental work (not including cosmetic work) are eligible medical expenses. Massage therapy is accepted in some provinces but not others. If you are a resident of BC, New Brunswick, Ontario or Newfoundland, you can claim the expense.

Massage therapy is accepted in some provinces but not others. If you are a resident of British Columbia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Ontario or Newfoundland, you can claim the expense.

Keep in mind that medical expenses are not deductible in full. The first 3% of your net income is used to calculate the actual claim. For example, if your net income is $30,000, the first $900 of your medical expenses are not deductible ($30,000 X .03 = $900). If your medical expenses total $950, only $50 will end up as a deduction.
