Free Tax Clinics
The Canada Revenue Agency is pleased to sponsor a number of free tax clinics across the country every spring. The objective of the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP)is to help eligible individuals who are not able to prepare their income tax and benefit returns by themselves. It is intended to ensure that all taxpayers have equal access to the tax system.
The CVITP is a partnership between the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and community organizations which host tax preparation clinics and arrange for volunteers to prepare tax returns for eligible individuals.
The CRA provides training, tax software, and a network of CVITP coordinators across the country to help community organizations and volunteers deliver the program.
The CVITP is a source of pride for the CRA. Each year together with many volunteers and community organizations, we help over half a million Canadians file their tax returns. For more information about clinics in and around Surrey please click here.
Give Yourself Some Credit
On January 21, 2012 Russ hosted a Tax Information Session.
It's time to start filing our income tax returns once again. Did you know that there are many tax credits available that could reduce the amount of taxes that you have to pay? A handout that was distributed at the Tax Information Session is available for download. A downloadable 2012 Tax Guide that provides more specific details is also available. For both documents, you can either click on the link to view it in a new window or right-click to save a copy of the file on your computer.
