Tax season is just around the corner, and volunteers at Deltassist Family and Community Services are available to prepare income tax returns for low-income Delta residents.
Due to COVID-19 it will be a “drop-off and pick-up” tax clinic.
Many people do not know that they need to file a tax return in order to receive the GST/HST tax credit or the Canada Child Tax Benefit. Filing a tax return on time is important when receiving other benefits such as the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors, MSP Premium Assistance and Pharmacare.
If you live in Delta, are on low-income, have a simple return and are either unable to complete your income tax and benefit return yourself or pay for assistance, Deltassist volunteers are here to help. Volunteers receive training through Canada Revenue Agency’s Community Volunteer Income Tax Program and are able to complete tax returns for 2020 as well as 2019, 2018 and 2017.
Beginning Monday, March 1, South Delta residents can call 604-946-9526 for information on how to drop off your tax documents at Deltassist’s Ladner office (202 – 5000 Bridge Street) and North Delta residents can call 604-594-3455 for information on how to drop off your tax documents at Deltassist’s North Delta office (9097 120th Street).
Please note that both offices are closed between the hours of noon to 1 p.m.
