Revenue Canada Sponsors Volunteer Income Tax Program It's no secret that a number of Canadians have trouble completing income tax forms - but some people have a harder time than others. So Revenue Canada sponsors the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program, with volunteers from all walks of life. For 25 years, volunteers have been helping • clients understand their income tax obligations and claim their tax credits. In 1996 alone, almost 15,000 volunteers helped more than 250,000 people across Canada! We are hoping to see these numbers increase in 1997. Training Sessions Revenue Canada is currently currently holding volunteer training sessions. If your community organization would like to participate, Revenue Canada will even bring the training session to your group. To take part in the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program, individually individually or as a group, please contact the Toronto East Tax Services Office, volunteer coordinator, coordinator, by telephone at (416) 973-4135 or (416) 952- 0741.
