Voluntary revocation

If you asked to have your registered status voluntarily revoked, we will send a T2051A notice by registered mail about two weeks before the date of revocation. The notice will show the date your registered status will be revoked. You must file a complete T2046 return no later than one year after the date shown in the upper-right corner of the T2051A notice.

Revocation notices as a result of an audit

If we audit your charity and find that you do not comply with the requirements of registration, we may revoke your charitable status. We will send you a letter by registered mail explaining the reasons why we intend to revoke your registration.
