    Child Fitness Tax Credit

    It's not well publicized by the CRA, but if your child works out with the DA50 upper you can write it off on your tax return.

    The lower here is your son. I'd rather take my AR15 lower..its much cheaper
    Plus it doesn't need to be driven to hockey games in Sticksville. All joking aside that is a beast of an upper.

    Hahaha very nice. Now all kidding aside. If I enrolled my daughter's (4 of em) into the local junior rifle club. Would that be considered a sport, and if so would some bolt action .22 not be considered required equipment and be elegable for the tax credit.

    No...it doesn't qualify but it got me thinking. The fitness tax credit requires "significant physical activity" amongst other things. The CRA thinks bowling qualifies. So, junior rifle is probably out, but 3 gun, IDPA, IPSC where there is significant movement might?

    There is no list of qualifying activities or approved organizations, and the CRA maintains the organization must determine the deductibility.

    In my view, biathlon would definitely qualify, so its not a huge stretch that other shooting sports might as well.
