Thank you so much to those who contributed to the income tax program last year. It was a great success. And a lot of you have already expressed their interest in this program this year -your support is appreciated! This year’s tax season is fast approaching and training will begin this weekend for those registered in the CVITP training session. With the help of Revenue Canada, each year VIRCS provides free income tax filing for low-income newcomers.
The Revenue Canada training will be happening for the month of February, with the first clinics starting in March. Please note that, while Revenue Canada generously provides both the software and training for all volunteers, volunteers must already have a working knowledge of the Canadian Tax system and some relevant income tax experience.
This year our income tax clinics will be taking place during the evening on Tuesday and Thursday from 6 to 8 pm to accommodate volunteers and clients work schedules. Volunteers who complete 30 hours of service will be awarded a certificate of completion.
