Considering the cost of living has reached new heights across Canada, it's no surprise that many Canadians, particularly low-income Canadians, are looking for ways to supplement inflation. Luckily, the Quebec government (and Canada Revenue Agency) offers a slew of benefits for Quebecers in need.
As the cost of living across Canada continues to rise, Quebec residents are looking for ways to not only save money but earn more, too. The Quebec and federal governments offers a handful of financial programs and credits that could offset inflation and help Canadians struggling at the moment, particularly low-income families.
This upcoming April, the Canada Revenue Agency will be sending out its second GST/HST payment and Canadian residents could receive up to $650 through this tax-free credit.
When it comes to filing your own income taxes in Canada, Revenu Quebec is making navigating tax season slightly easier with a tax assistance program available to eligible residents.
According to Revenu Québec, the Income Tax Assistance Volunteer Program enlists the support of numerous community organizations and volunteers to aid individuals requiring assistance with their income tax filings but lacks the financial means to hire professional services.
