The 2014 Clinique d’impôts was a hit!

April 10, 2014

At the HEC Montréal 2014 Clinique d’impôts (Tax Fair), held from April 4 to 6, no fewer than 1,600 tax returns were completed by 350 student volunteers, to help newcomers and low-income taxpayers.

The free event, with journalist and producer François Bugingo acting as spokesperson, was a great success. It not only allowed the School’s students to acquire some targeted tax knowledge, but also provided valuable assistance for the Montreal community.

The tax clinic, organized in co-operation with the Société de relations d’affaires (SRA) de HEC Montréal, Revenu Québec and the Canada Revenue Agency, was open only to individuals with incomes of less than $25,000 and families with household incomes of less than $30,000.
