As per CRA the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) is a collaboration between community organizations and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Community organizations host tax preparation clinics and arrange for volunteers to prepare income tax and benefit returns for eligible individuals who have a modest income and a simple tax situation. The CRA provides coordinators and offers training and tax software.

This program is highly appreciated by the community members and provides a bridge between CRA and community. In Seneca Community, the CVITP is run by Seneca Community Centre. Whereas in Seneca College – Newnham Campus Free Tax Clinic is run under the supervision of Seneca Student Federation.
