Who drops off taxes to us?

The people:

We aid people who have restricted incomes to fill and submit taxes. Many live well below Canada’s poverty level. So many of us have what the government and society calls a disability, others are on retirement incomes and pensions that barley cover the cost of living. But what does that mean? Will we help you, for free? Read below for more information. Do you need your disability tax credit application filled? We also do that!
