Free Tax Clinic

The office of MP Lindsay Mathyssen will be providing eligible constituents with help to complete their taxes through our 2025 Tax Clinic from March 11 until April 15. Please contact us to schedule an appointment to take part in this service.

Call our office at 519-685-4745 or send an email to lindsay.mathyssen@parl.gc.ca.

After you have scheduled an appointment for our clinic, please bring your ID, all T-Slips (income slips), rent receipts, medical receipts, charitable donations, DTC info, etc. If you or someone you know needs help from a clinic, but is unable to leave their home, service is available.

To be eligible for community clinic help, you must be a constituent of London-Fanshawe and be earning a modest income and have a simple tax situation.

In general, a modest income means your total family income is less than $35,000 a year for an individual or $45,000 for a couple/household (plus $5000 for the first dependent and $2500 for each additional dependent).

A simple tax situation means that you have no income or if your income comes from any of these sources:

employment

pension

benefits such as the CPP, disability insurance, EI, and social assistance

registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs)

support payments

scholarships, fellowships, bursaries or grants

interest (under $1,000)

Free tax clinics will not provide services if you (more complicated):

are self-employed or have employment expenses INCLUDING ANY RENTAL INCOME

have business or rental income and expenses

have capital gains or losses

are an International student

filed for bankruptcy in the tax year (or the year before, if that return has not yet been filed)

are completing a tax return for a deceased person.

Please call our office to let us know your situation and make necessary arrangements at 519-685-4745.
