My office has teamed up with the volunteers at the Burlington Central Library Tax Clinic to host a virtual CVITP program. 

Residents of Burlington with a modest income and a simple tax situation are eligible for the virtual tax clinic.

Please call 289-427-0267

Simple tax situation

In general, a tax situation is simple if an individual has no income or if their income comes from these sources:

• employment
• pension
• benefits, such as Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, disability insurance, employment insurance, and social assistance
• Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs)
• support payments
• scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, or grants
• interest (under $1,000)

Modest Income

 In general, a modest income means the total family income is less than the amount shown in the chart below, based on the size of the family.

Suggested income levels
