WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY INCOME TAX PROGRAM?
Working with other non-profit organizations like us, the Canada Revenue Agency offers the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) to these companies. Their goal is to help those with lower incomes to provide straightforward tax situations for filing their taxes to receive all advantages they’re legally entitled to. For us to conduct the program, the CRA offers training, assistance, and software.
WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM SO ESSENTIAL?
For families that have lower incomes, every dollar counts in their day to day lives for everything from basic expenses to utilities. Families can receive a number of provincial and federal benefits, but benefits like the Guaranteed Income Supplement and Canada Child Benefits are dependent on filing taxes accurately and as quick as possible. Our job is to make sure we complete your return quickly and accurately to ensure you receive the most compensation.
