Tax Dispute Clinic
The CLASP-KPMG Tax Clinic is the first of its kind that helps low-income people who have received a reassessment letter, or other communication. The Clinic is a partnership between KPMG, CLASP and Pro Bono Students Canada.
Law students will assist clients requiring legal assistance with tax matters, such as:
- Disability tax credits/programs

Please note, at this time, the Tax Dispute Clinic will not be assisting individuals with filing their tax returns but can provide information regarding eligibility for tax credits.

We ask individuals to bring ALL documentation relating to their tax matter including all communications from CRA (reassessment, letter, etc.) and a copy of their income tax return.
