Perth and District Community Foundation

Each year, trained volunteers help low- and moderate-income community members prepare and file their income tax returns through the Volunteer Income Tax Program run by ConnectWell, in partnership with the Canada Revenue Agency.

Did you know that filing income tax is essential to receive benefits such as GST/HST credits, the Child Tax Benefit, and others? If you or someone you know could benefit from assistance with filing a return, help is available year-round. Visit their website for more information at www.connectwell.ca/volunteer-income-tax-program/
