The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program is available for low-income individuals with simple tax situations to complete and file their income tax and benefit return.
Last year in the PMH region total money in benefits and refunds to those that used the program was 8,019,659 dollars.
24 volunteers helped out in Brandon, while 19 people volunteered in rural areas.
The program is a collaboration between community organizations and the CRA.
This program helps ensure that seniors, newcomers, students and all low-income residents maintain access to all the benefits to which they are entitled.
Individuals can get their income tax done for free if they are a person with income under 35,000 dollars, two people with income less than 45,000 dollars, or three people with income under 47,500 dollars.
In rural Manitoba, most locations that have the program will start on March 9th.
If you would like to use the program, the complete schedule can be found here.
