The Canada Revenue Agency’s Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) is looking for volunteers to help file simple tax returns for people in their community.
The CVITP has been helping individuals with a modest income and a simple tax situation prepare their income tax and benefit returns, for free, since 1971.
Last tax-filing season, more than 16,500 CVITP volunteers helped more than 702,000 individuals in communities across the country.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, 310 volunteers registered with the CVITP and helped more than 8,300 individuals file their tax returns.
For more information about the CVITP, to find out how to become a volunteer, or to find a participating community organization in your area, go to canada.ca/taxes-volunteer, or call 1-855-516-4405.
