How 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 our next scheduled review. A 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 is still mandatory.

Please note: This is only an estimate. Your fee and eligibility for subsidy will be confirmed at your meeting with your Case Manager.
