Your IncomeJobs and government benefit programsThis page was added as a result of your requests. Do not e-mail me with your questions. I am not an expert on any of these subjects on this page. Sorry! Please do e-mail me if you have any constructive suggestions or useful links to add to this page. I have not checked the backgrounds of the web sites listed on this page. Being listed is not an endorsement of any of these sites or programs. Income TaxAre you on government benefits and so haven't filed an Income Tax return because you felt you had no taxable income? If so, you may be owed money. There are rebate programs which give money back, such as the GST (Federal, Goods and Services Tax) rebate and the Ontario Tax credits. The Ontario Credits (form ON479,) includes a PST (Provincial Sales Tax) rebate, plus a Property Tax Credit which also applies to tenants as property tax is included in our rents. (There are similar programs to the Ontario one, in B.C., Manitoba, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut using either forms 479 or Form 428, whichever applies.) And there is the Canada Child Tax Benefit which includes a Child Disability Benefit supplement. You can check out the Canada Revenue Agency's Benefits page, for all these rebates and credits. The Certified General Accountants of Ontario, run many free income tax clinics for the working poor, and the poor or those on fixed incomes such as those on pensions, welfare and disability. To find out locations and times click on Ontario Free Tax Preparation Clinics. You may also be able to claim credits owed to you for previous years, but you will have to consult with one of these tax clinics in advance (so they can get the previous years' tax forms) or other tax expert.
