That personalized tax return and the instructions ac- companying it are in- tended to help Canada's 15 million tax filers com- plete their tax returns as easily and as accurately as possible. But in addition to the tax return and guide there is more help available from Revenue Canada, Taxation each tax filing season - help that is free and that can even save you money on the taxes you owe. In addition to the tax free telephone enquiry service available from the Department's 31 district taxation offices (long distance dialing instructions are included on the back of the tax guides) there are free publications, a Teaching Taxes program for schools, a volunteer pro- gram that helps the 'disadvantaged, as well as films, public service announcements and a television program. Why? Because Canaga's tax system operates on the principle of self assessment, a system that depends on taxpayers to report their income and calculate the tax they owe. To help taxpayers meet the requirements of the tax laws, and to be sure they claim all the deductions and exemp- tions they are entitled to, Revenue Canada, Taxa- tion tries to provide all the help it can. A series of tax infor- mation pamphlets treats various aspects of tax law in simple, non- technical language. For example, did you know that as parents you may be eligible to claim certain child care ex- penses or that as a single parent you may be able to claim the equivalent- to-married exemption for a dependent child? Two pamphlets, Income Tax and The Single Parent or Income Tax and Child Care Expenses should be required reading if you are in either of those situations. Are you familiar with the special deductions and exemptions for senior citizens? Income Tax and the Senior Citizen outlines them clearly. Interested in the tax advantages of Registered Retirement Savings Plan or Registered Home Ownership Savings Plans? Pamphlets on RRSPs and RHOPs ex- plain the rules relating to both of these savings plans. Other pamphlets treat subjects such as rental income, capital gains, students and com- mission earnings. Another series, entitl- ed You Were Asking, treats subjects requiring shorter explanations. You Were Asking how to declare Canada Savings Bond interest, and You Were Asking how to claim the child tax credit are two examples. The professionals, lawyers, accountants and others practicing in the taxation area, take advantage of the Depart- ment's Interpretation Bulletins and Informa- tion Circulars. Written in technical terms, these publications provide in- depth treatment of specific tax rules and regulations. People who for reasons of age, health or language, are not able to complete their own tax returns or obtain help elsewhere, can take ad- vantage of the assistance available through Revenue Canada's volunteer program. Through this program, tax officers train com- munity volunteers who in turn offer their services free-of-charge to people in their community or community associations who need help complete- ing their tax returns. Last year more than 1,000 volunteers were trained by District Tax Offices and each in turn helped an average of forty-five people. Of the 45,000 people who took advantage of this pro- gram, a large percen- tage were senior citizens. Revenue Canada is also interested in future generations. This is why for more than a decade the Department has been producing a program en- titled Teaching Taxes. This program enables secondary school teachers and college in- structors to teach the basic principles of taxa- tion to their students who learn how the tax system works and how to fill out a tax return property. In this way the students become more familiar with the Canadian tax system in preparation for the time when they will be required to pay tax. In 1982, approximately 10,000 teachers took part in this program, reaching about 500,000 studens. In addition to these programs the tax depart- ment has free films available on the history of tax, the ways it cat- ches tax cheaters and how it processes tax returns. And during March and April it pro- duces public service material including a half-hour television pro- gram on how to fill out an income tax return. There you have it. Revenue Canada offers a wide variety of free in- formation material and valuable teaching aids to those of you who may want to reduce your taxes; the rest is up to you!
