Thank you for the question.
Yes, there are a number of free filing options that are operated by industry that are currently available to Canadians. A key one is through free, DIY tax software that Canadians can access just by going on the Internet. There are several options that they can choose for that. Then there are industry tax clinics that are held throughout tax season and other parts of the year that also connect those Canadians in need to tax filing services to help them get the benefits they require.
In addition to industry efforts, there is also the community volunteer income tax program, which also serves hundreds of thousands of Canadians. There is no shortage of free tax filing options to Canadians who need them.
