Children's fitness amount

Hi, I'm Rasha from the Canada Revenue Agency. I'd like to tell you about the children's fitness amount. It won't take more than a minute or so. The children's fitness amount allows parents to claim up to $500 in eligible fitness expenses paid for each child who is under 16 years of age at the beginning of the year. To learn more about the children's fitness amount, see line 365 of the 2008 General Income Tax and Benefit Guide. Or go to cra.gc.ca/fitness.

Excuse me, my phone is ringing. I should take this call. Canada Revenue Agency, Rasha speaking, how may I help you?
