Income Tax Assistance – Volunteer Program Statistics

Every year as part of the income tax assistance program, community organizations hold free federal and Québec income tax return preparation sessions, where volunteers complete tax returns for thousands of eligible individuals, so they can receive the benefits and tax credits they are entitled to.
