New Canadian Budget Supports Online Charity Registration, Modernization of Lotteries - Press - AFP: Budget 2014, introduced yesterday, includes a number of measures impacting Canada’s charities. It is worth noting that despite rhetoric to the contrary prior to the budget’s release, there were no specific measures targeting the political activities of Canadian charities. There is, however, a provision creating a new revocation offence for accepting donations from state supporters of terrorism.
AFP was pleased to see budget provisions that encourage electronic filing and provide funds to bolster the Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) Charities Directorate website. As a member of the CRA Technical Issues Working Group, AFP recently discussed potential areas of improvement on the directorate’s website with the CRA and sector colleagues during a recent working group meeting.
