About the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP):

 

  • Volunteers prepare returns for eligible taxpayers who have a modest income and a simple tax situation.
  • The program is a collaboration between the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and community organizations.
  • Each year, community organizations and volunteers help over half a million Canadians file their tax returns.
  • Various community organizations host tax preparation clinics and arrange for volunteers to prepare tax returns for individuals who have a modest income and a simple tax situation.
  • The objective of the CVITP is to help eligible individuals who are unable to prepare their income tax and benefit returns by themselves.
  • The program and its services are offered free of charge.
