PAGE 4 - WATERLOO CHROMCLE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1986 News digest Accountants open tax ciinics According to Gail Misra, director of the community Information Centre, "any- one receiving family bene- fits, welfare and disability pensions should file an in- come tax return. Although they have not paid any tax, welfare and pension recipi- ents can often get some money back for housing costs, sales tax, the child tax credit and/or disability deduction." Because the service is intended for those who need professional assistance but are unable to afford it, strict income guidelines are in effect. Generally those tax- payers with no dependants must have total household income under $12,000. Those with one or more depen- dants will be subject to somewhat higher maxi- mums. Others may qualify because of special circum- stances. This free service begins the last week of February and continues through March on several weekday evenings, and is available by appointment only. Cam- bridge residents should call the Community Information Centre at 653-5705. K-W resi- dents can call the Centre at 579-3800 or the Multi-Cultur- al Centre at 745-2531.
