compliance

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.

    Community nonprofit organizations had been raising concerns for quite some time about the growing administrative burden and point to such things as more numerous and complex grant application and reporting processes, and additional compliance requirements. The focus of this study was to address this gap in knowledge.
