Is Every Religion Charitable Under Canadian Charity Law?

  • Summary

  • This episode clarifies the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) criteria, which involves common law and the Income Tax Act.

    The CRA focuses on whether the organization's belief system qualifies as a religion and whether its purposes and activities advance that religion. Requirements include belief in a Supreme Being, worship, and a comprehensive system of faith.

    To "advance" religion means to promote belief through activities materially connected to religious teachings.
