👉The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of National Revenue, announced that free tax clinics facilitated over 649,000 Canadians with modest incomes in filing their taxes, resulting in more than $1.75 billion in benefits, credits, and refunds last year. Over 3,400 community organizations, supported by 14,700 volunteers, contributed to this success. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is granting $5.2 million to organizations involved in the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) or the Income Tax Assistance – Volunteer Program (ITAVP) in Quebec for 2023, aiming to help cover costs associated with hosting free tax clinics. Due to the program's success, the grant pilot project will be extended for a fourth year, with funding increased to $5.9 million. Volunteers at these clinics assist individuals with modest incomes and simple tax situations, ensuring they access vital benefits. The CRA encourages more community organizations to participate, offering free training and laptops when available.
