A reminder that if your organization is a registered charity, it is required to file its T3010 Registered Charity Information Return with CRA within 6 months of its fiscal year-end. Please ensure that you are using the most up to date form of T3010 (version 24) as your T3010 will be rejected by CRA if you use an older form. Many registered charities have a fiscal year end of December 31 meaning they are required to file the T3010 by June 30.

Failure to file a T3010 within the requisite period will result in CRA taking steps to revoke your organization’s charitable registration. An application for re-registration can be filed following revocation for failure to file a T3010 but during this time you cannot issue tax receipts and it requires you to go through the entire charity application process which is lengthy and can be costly. If you have any questions about T3010 filings, please contact one of our lawyers to assist.
