UFile, the Canadian tax preparation software owned by Thomson Reuters, is expanding its commitment to being green in 2017 by continuing its pledge to donate $1 to Earth Day Canada for every Canadian who files their tax return online on Earth Day – Saturday, April 22 – using NETFILE with UFile. Last year, 16,887 Canadians participated in the nationwide initiative and UFile pledges to raise last year's contribution up to $30,000 toward Earth Day's global commitment to plant 7.8 billion trees by 2020 and to encourage Canadians to reduce their carbon footprint. "As a NETFILE-certified tax software allowing Canadians to file online with the CRA, we feel a responsibility to motivate Canadians to adopt paperless practices and communicate the environmental advantages of digitizing personal finance like online tax filing," says Sylvain Fortin, marketing manager at UFile. "It's one of the reasons why we redesigned our software last year; to make online tax filing more intuitive, highly accurate, and actually enjoyable."
