HKCCSA is pleased to offer a Free Tax Clinic to support community members who need assistance with filing their income taxes. As part of the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), trained volunteers provide free assistance to eligible low-income individuals and families to help them complete their income tax and benefit returns accurately and on time.

Services are available in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English through both virtual and in-person appointments, making tax support more accessible to community members across multiple provinces. Through this initiative, HKCCSA aims to help participants access the benefits and credits they are entitled to while reducing financial stress during tax season.

At HKCCSA, we believe in “Strength in Change.” By providing practical support and community-based services, we continue to promote inclusion, accessibility, and well-being while strengthening connections within the communities we serve.
