My office is participating in the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program this tax season. The program is in collaboration with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and is designed to help individuals and families by preparing their income tax and benefit returns free of charge.
Your tax documentation can be dropped off in person at the constituency office during business hours or placed in our secure lock box located on the right-hand side of our building when facing the front door to the constituency office. Once received your documentation will be given to CRA approved volunteers who will submit your return.
To qualify you must:
1. have a modest income ($35,000 for 1 person or $45,000 for a couple) and
2. a simple tax situation
3. cannot be self-employed or have business income and expenses,
4. cannot have capital gains or losses or
5. cannot have foreign income.
