Many Happy Returns

摘要

Albert Ferris is accustomed to seeing incomes in the upper five and six figures. The executive director of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Prince Edward Island used to be a partner at Deloitte & Touche. Now, every April, he sits down in a Charlottetown bingo hall to do tax returns for people with incomes in the low five and four figures. For free. Ferris is a volunteer at a tax clinic run by the Canadian Revenue Agency. "It sure snaps you out of the complaint department when you see what some people must live on," he says.
