Any registered charity (or registered Canadian amateur athletic association) can claim the refund. It is also available to “a person who has been certified by a qualified medical practitioner to be suffering from a permanent impairment of locomotion to such an extent that the use of public transportation by that person would be hazardous”.
The rebate can be claimed for up to two years from the date of purchase. To apply for the rebate, download Form XE8 from the CRA’s web site. The form includes instructions and further details.
