SUMMARY |
|
|
|
The enactment governs the protection and use of security and
criminal intelligence in determining the eligibility for registration of a
charity under the Income Tax Act. It provides a means to prevent
organizations that engage in terrorism or activities in support of
terrorism from benefiting from the tax privileges granted to registered
charities under that Act. On the basis of a certificate setting out such
facts in relation to a charity and found to be reasonable by a judge of the
Federal Court, the Minister of National Revenue may refuse to register
the charity or revoke the registration of the registered charity.
