ABSTRACT: Background. The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) Certification is an assessment tool used to provide Canadians with disability tax relief. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a universal framework for defining disability. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the DTC and familiarize occupational therapists with the process of mapping measures to the ICF classification system. Method. Concepts within the DTC were identified and mapped to appropriate ICF codes (Cieza et al., 2005). Results. The DTC was linked to 45 unique ICF codes (16 Body Functions, 19 Activities and Participation, and 8 Environmental Factors). Implications: The DTC encompasses various domains of the ICF; however, there is no consideration of Personal Factors, Body Structures, and key aspects of Activities and Participation. Refining the DTC to address these aspects will provide an opportunity for fair and just determinations for those who experience disability. French Description. Le certificat pour le crédit d'impôt pour personnes handicapées (CIPH) est un outil d'évaluation utilisé pour déterminer si les Canadiens peuvent se prévaloir d'un crédit d'impôt pour personnes handicapées. La Classification internationale du fonctionnement, du handicap et de la santé (CIF) propose un cadre universel pour définir le handicap. But. Le but de cette étude était d'évaluer le CIPH et de faire connaître aux ergothérapeutes le processus qui consiste à mettre certaines mesures en correspondance avec le système de classification de la CIF. Méthodologie. Les concepts énoncés dans le CIPH ont été déterminés et mis en correspondance avec les codes appropriés de la CIF (Cieza et al., 2005). Résultats. Le CIPH a été associé à 45 codes uniques de la CIF (16 fonctions organiques, 19 activités et participation et 8 facteurs environnementaux). Conséquences. Le CIPH englobe divers domaines de la CIF; toutefois, il n'aborde pas les facteurs personnels, les structures anatomiques et certains aspects déterminants des activités et de la participation. La redéfinition du CIPH en vue de tenir compte de ces aspects permettra de déterminer de façon juste et équitable si des personnes ayant un handicap peuvent se prévaloir d'un crédit d'impôt pour personnes handicapées.
