Richmond, BC – Richmond Public Library, in partnership with the Lord’s Harvest Fellowship, is once again offering free Income Tax Clinics at the Brighouse library. Trained volunteers will help community members with low income file their income tax returns. This year’s clinics will follow a drop-off and pick-up format.
“We are always blessed and excited every year for the past twelve years that the Income Tax Clinic has been extending helping hands in preparing and filing income taxes for students, seniors, new immigrants and people with modest income,” said Pastor Abe Lagayan, representative of The Lord’s Harvest Fellowship. “We are also grateful that we are able to continue our partnership with the library in providing this vital service to community!”
To qualify for this free service, single persons must have a maximum income of $35,000 and a couple must have a maximum income of $45,000 plus $2,500 per child. Couples will need to sign up for one appointment time for each person.
Interested participants can register now for a session by calling 604-231-6413 or visiting the Brighouse library 2nd floor Ask Me desk. A piece of government issued ID and all relevant tax slips such as T4, T5 and Canada Child Benefit slips must be brought to the appointment. All print documents will be returned to the participant at their pick-up time.
The clinics are offered in English and run on Saturdays from March 4 to April 29 (no sessions on April 8) with drop-off appointments offered between 10:30am and 3:30pm. Drop-off appointments on March 4 will be between 12:30pm and 3:30pm.
