What are free tax clinics?
Free tax clinics are organized by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) and, in Quebec, the Income Tax Assistance – Volunteer Program (ITAVP). Community organizations host these clinics where volunteers complete tax returns for people with a modest income and a simple tax situation.
Who can use them?
The official page states that free tax clinics are for individuals with a modest income and a simple tax situation. Specific income thresholds are not listed on the page; check at the time of service.
