FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
February 2, 2006
UFile Tax Preparation Software will be provided
for the Canada Revenue Agency's Community Volunteer
Income Tax Program (CVITP)
February 2, 2006 - Montreal, Quebec - Dr Tax
Software, the largest Canadian-owned tax software developer
for the consumer and professional tax community, today
announced that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will
provide its volunteers in the Community Volunteer Income
Tax Program (CVITP) with UFile Pro tax software. Volunteers
can take advantage of the software to help people complete
and file their income tax and benefit returns.
The CVITP assists eligible individuals who are unable
to complete their income tax and benefit returns themselves
and are unable to pay for assistance.
CVITP clinics consist of volunteers from associations,
community groups and non-profit organizations across
Canada. UFile Pro provides a professional level of functionality,
while incorporating the ability to electronically file
returns using the CRA's Efile services.
Dr. Tax will also provide both its toll free and online
customer support services to help CVITP volunteers with
software assistance and technical support.
"Our contract to provide the CRA with UFile Pro
is a tremendous opportunity for us to support a very
important initiative," explains Malcolm Campbell,
Vice President and General manager of Dr Tax Software
Inc. "For over 15 years, Canadian tax professionals
have relied on UFile's built-in expertise in Federal
and Provincial tax laws, and we are happy to help even
more people enjoy these same benefits."
Dr Tax Software Inc. also offers UFile for Windows,
which allows consumers to complete and electronically
file their personal income taxes through NetFile themselves.
The consumer product is available online starting at
$14.95 and in retail stores for $19.99.
