charitable law

The Canadian Revenue Agency is responsible for:

  • tax laws for the Government of Canada and for most provinces and territories; and
  • various social and economic benefit and incentive programs delivered through the tax system.
  • The CRA is also responsible for the registration of qualifying organizations as charities, giving technical advice on operating a charity, and handling audit and compliance activities.

    This February 2007 report from the Canadian Senate states that there have been no denials or revocations of charitable status under the Charities Registration (Security Information) Act, which is Part VI of the Anti-terrorism Act.

    The report does not recommend any amendments to the Act, however, it does recommend that in the event that a charity’s status is denied or revoked under these Anti-terrorism laws, a special advocate should be able to participate in the proceedings to help ensure that procedural fairness is observed.
