2009 CRA - Charities Information Sessions
February 26, 2009
Every year staff from the Charities Directorate of the Canada Revenue Agency visit communities across the country to provide information sessions for registered charities. This year, they will also be visiting a number of smaller communities. As the federal regulator of registered charities, the Directorate provides these sessions to help registered charities understand their obligations under the Income Tax Act.
The sessions are free and we encourage all registered charities to send representatives. For more details about these sessions go to http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/chrts/sssns/menu-eng.html.
The Charities Information Sessions cover a number of topics and are quite informative. Information is provided about various income tax provisions and obligations, which are often part of a charity’s daily life (i.e. issuing receipts for donations). This year CRA will be talking about the new T3010B - Charities Annual Information Return. This is also a great opportunity to ask questions and to share information with other charities.
Sessions are delivered in the spring, typically May and June, and in the fall, in September and October. Registration for the Spring sessions will open on Aril 8th, 2009 and for the Fall sessions on August 10th, 2009.
