The Canada Revenue Agency Revokes the Registration of the Voice of the Cerebral Palsied of Greater Vancouver as a Charity
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/08/13 -- The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will revoke the registration of The Voice of the Cerebral Palsied of Greater Vancouver. The notice of revocation will be published in the Canada Gazette with an effective date of February 9, 2013.
The CRA issued a notice of intention to revoke the charitable registration of The Voice of the Cerebral Palsied of Greater Vancouver, in accordance with subsection 168(1) of the Income Tax Act, which was subsequently appealed to the Federal Court of Appeal. The appeal was withdrawn on October 25, 2012. The documents CRA filed to court provided the following audit results:
A copy of the notice of intention to revoke and other letters relating to the grounds for revocation are available to the public on request, in the language they were originally written, by calling 1-800-267-2384.
An organization that has had its registration as a charity revoked can no longer issue donation receipts for income tax purposes and is no longer a qualified donee under the Income Tax Act. The organization is no longer exempt from income tax, unless it qualifies as a non-profit organization, and it may be subject to a tax equal to the full value of its remaining assets.
Registered charities have an obligation under the Income Tax Act to devote their resources to charitable purposes and activities. The CRA recognizes that charities may incur reasonable administrative and fundraising expenditures in pursuit of their charitable programs. However, when fundraising becomes a disproportionate focus rather than pursuing charitable activities, or when fundraising expenditures become unreasonable or unacceptable, charities may face consequences which could include monetary penalties, the suspension of tax-receipting privileges and/or the revocation of registered charitable status.
While most registered charities operate in a manner consistent with the law, in cases of excessive fundraising the CRA will take appropriate action. These situations are addressed on a case-by-case basis. The CRA is also committed to broader sector education, for example the CRA issued Guidance on to assist charities in understanding CRA's expectations on fundraising activities and expenditures.
