Why is this program so important?For households struggling with low-income, every dollar is urgently needed to cover essentials like food, clothing, and utilities. While there are a variety of provincial and federal benefits that households are eligible for, many of these supports, such as Canada Child Benefits and Guaranteed Income Supplement, are dependent on tax filing. So we look at tax filing assistance as one of the tools to improve people's situations and reduce their need to turn to our other services.

What is the Community Income Tax Program?The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) is a Canada Revenue Agency program offered in partnership with community agencies such as ours. The purpose is to assist people with modest incomes and simple tax situations with filing their tax returns in order to access income benefits to which they are entitled.
Central Food Network's Heat Bank program helps to coordinate the local Income Tax Clinics with support from our team of tax volunteers. Canada Revenue Agency provides tax filing training, support as well as free access to tax software so we can run the program. Our tax volunteers are not representatives nor staff of Canada Revenue Agency. |
