Community Volunteer Income Tax Program
Volunteers complete tax returns for individuals and families with a modest income and a simple tax situation.
Through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), we host free tax clinics where volunteers complete tax returns for people with a modest income and a simple tax situation. This service is available year round by appointment and during tax season we host walk-in clinics.
About The Program
The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) has existed since 1971 and is a longstanding partnership between the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and community organizations and their volunteers.
Participating organizations, like ours, host free tax clinics where volunteers complete income tax and benefit returns for eligible individuals to ensure they receive, or continue to receive, the benefits and credits they are entitled to.
CVITP tax preparation services are offered free of charge to everyone who meets the eligibility criteria, and includes completing taxes for current and previous years.
Eligibility
In order to be eligible for the CVITP, individuals must have a modest income and a simple tax situation.
Modest Income
A modest income means the total family income is less than or equal to the amount shown below, based on the size of the family.
