Charities Information Sessions - 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. 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 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).
