The CVITP is a long-standing initiative by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in partnership with community organizations to help individuals with modest incomes and simple tax situations file their income tax and benefit returns for free. This program assists seniors, low-income individuals and families, newcomers to Canada, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, students, and individuals experiencing homelessness.
The program makes tax filing accessible for vulnerable individuals and helps them access important government benefits and credits, such as the GST/HST credit, Canada Child Benefit, and various provincial and federal tax credits. These clinics have helped people access billions of dollars in refunds and benefits.
