Free tax clinics are important for Canadians. Community organizations will host free virtual tax clinics. Volunteers can receive tax free of charge via video conference or telephone through the Community Volunteers Income Tax Program (CVITP) and Income Tax Benefit – Volunteer Program in Quebec.
These virtual clinics will be temporarily arranged to assist with the completion of tax refunds while continuing to comply with physical distance rules. Due to the concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, many community organizations have had to close, delay or reduce their face-to-face free tax clinics.
