The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) is back within the Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) region.
This free service is here to help low-income individuals get their taxes done and claim the benefits they deserve. Last year, residents in the Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) region saw over $10 million in benefits and refunds through the program—$3,500 on average per person! In Brandon alone, 14 volunteers worked hard to assist clients, with an additional 11 volunteers in rural areas making sure everyone gets the support they need.
This includes GST refunds, Canada Child benefit, MB Rent assist, Disability Tax
credits, Pharmacare deductibles and more.

• One person with income under $35,000/ *Two persons with income under $45,000; and
