Court decisions
Charity-related court decisions
The Income Tax Act provides for a formal objection process when a charity feels the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) did not interpret the facts or applied the law correctly. If a charity disagrees with the CRA's decision concerning its objection, it has the right to appeal to a court.
Here is a sample of some relevant court cases.
