e-3838 (Taxation)
E-petition
Initiated by Frederic Boudreault from Baie-Comeau, Quebec
Original language of petition: French
Petition to Minister of National Revenue
Whereas:
- Tax returns are still required to obtain various government benefits for low-income people;
- The Canada Revenue Agency already has the information related to people’s incomes that is used to calculate government benefits;
- Hundreds of thousands of low-income people use tax clinics each year;
- Tax clinics rely on the participation of community organizations which do not have a mission to do so, and which do not receive any real financial support to provide this service;
- Organizations cannot ask for even a small contribution from users since the service must be free; and
- The constant introduction of additional constraints undermines the service provided by community organizations.
We, the undersigned, residents of the Province of Quebec, call upon the Minister of National Revenue to:
1. Significantly simplify tax returns for people living solely on government benefits; and
2. Continue to provide these benefits even if returns are not filed and to adequately support community organizations that run tax clinics.
