Help is on the way!

Did you know...

The Canada Revenue Agency can help you if you're having a tough time filing your 2004 income tax return.

If you are a student, senior, person with a disability, a newcomer to Canada, or a low-income earner with a simple tax-filing situation, you can contact the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) at: 1-800-959-8281 to ask for help. CVITP volunteers work with members of local community organizations who can help you complete and file your return.

Other individuals and businesses can get help by:

• visiting the CRA Web site at: www.cra.gc.ca for helpful forms, guides, and other information; and
• calling 1-800-959-8281 for general tax enquiries, or 1-800-959-5525 for business enquiries.
