Announced in July 2025, Registered Behaviour Analysts (RBAs) have been added to the Canada Revenue Agency’s list of eligible medical professionals. This means that families who pay out-of-pocket for services delivered by an RBA can now claim those expenses as a medical deduction at tax time. This change applies to services rendered from July 1, 2024 onward.  

Please note:  

• This applies only to private, out-of-pocket payments.  

• Families using only OAP funding are not eligible to claim this tax credit.  

• Families must keep proof of payment invoices showing that the service was paid for directly.  

This is a positive step forward in making autism services more affordable and accessible for families in Ontario. For more information and the official CRA update, please click here.
