Canada has introduced a tax credit to help couples and individuals offset the costs of fertility treatments.

The tax credit is going to be up to $8,000 back on certain fertility treatments (some will be applicable, some will not.)  The tax credit doesn’t take effect until later this year on October 1, 2010.

This type of tax credit comes as a relief for Canadians struggling with infertility but who are unsure of what they can afford in terms of fertility treatment options.
