Students from Brock University\u2019s Goodman School of Business have partnered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to provide complimentary tax return services to the local community.<\/p>\n
Anyone with a modest income and simple tax situation is eligible for the service, which starts on campus next week.<\/p>\n
The tax clinic is scheduled for March 5 to 9 and 12 to 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Computer Commons Training Room in Scotiabank Hall.<\/p>\n
The service is free of charge and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. The last client timeslot is 3:30 p.m. each day.<\/p>\n
Anyone attending the tax clinic should bring government-issued photo identification, along with all relevant tax forms. The service is provided for 2017 tax returns only.<\/p>\n
Thirty-two Goodman accounting students will volunteer for the clinic after spending the last several weeks receiving specialized training through the CRA\u2019s Community Volunteer Income Tax Program.<\/p>\n
Students benefit from the relevant job experience the opportunity offers, in many cases, building on the experience they have already gained through co-op work terms.<\/p>\n
