As discussed earlier there are a number of problems in dealing with the information from the
T3010A Registered Charity Information Return.
1) Although an important legal document, it is often filled out by volunteers or others who have
little understanding of the nuances of the Income Tax Act, may have limited language skills and,
in some cases, may not have easy access to the correct information.
2) In question C5 dealing with the list of countries or regions where programs were carried out
the form provides only ten boxes. Clearly some charities conduct operation in more than 10
countries or regions.
3) The fact that a charity is allowed to list regions, in addition to or instead of specific countries,
will always undercut the accuracy of the statistics on countries.
4) If one even quickly reads the actual data inputted for regions and countries one will find that
there are all sorts of inaccuracies either on the T3010 that was filed or on CRA’s inputting of the
information.
• Cities named instead of countries
• countries spelled incorrectly,
• former names of countries used such as Czechoslovakia,
• lack of uniformity in country description (DRC, DROC, The Democratic Republic of Congo,
the DRC etc),
• the field being used for a relevant or irrelevant memo like a particular denominations
© Blumberg Segal LLP www.globalphilanthropy.ca Mark Blumberg [email protected] missionary was supported without reference to a country,
• some charities listed the same region or country
• some listed “world” or “worldwide” or “various” which does not really add to our
understanding.
• There were a few “unknown” or “unknown countries”.
• There were a few in which not applicable or N/A or S/O was listed.
• There were references to Canadian cities such as Montreal, or Canadian provinces such as
Ontario – clearly not outside of Canada.
5) The list that I was provided by CRA is in both French and English and I have translated it into
English in order to better aggregate the information.
6) Last year The Christian Children’s Fund of Canada sent me a note that they were surprised
that they were not on the list. After investigation they wrote “The CRA manually mis-keyed our
T3010 into their database. The field for line F1/5400 should be $24,185,324, not $24,185. We
are contacting CRA to have this fixed. ... It’s unfortunate that CCFC did not get the recognition
for its sizable foreign operations that is the main focus of our charitable work. Thanks for
pointing out the issue to us.” This would have put CCF in 14th place on the list last year. I
expect this year that there will be similar issues with charities not making it on the list.
7) The CRA raw data includes duplications which I have removed.
8) The CRA raw data includes “charities” that from press reports appear to be abusive tax
avoidance schemes or charities that fundraise a lot but there is little verification that they have
done anything worthwhile. Personally I would prefer if CRA removed them from the data as
they distort the important and hard work of legitimate charities. These “highly problematic”
charities – for example one small church which was a registered charity issuing hundreds of
millions of dollars in receipts – have been removed from the list that I have above. This does not
by any means mean that the charities on the list are all legitimate or effective. Just to give you
an idea of how large and problematic these tax schemes are they would have been found for
example at #6 and #9 on the list.
It is a good argument for the T3010’s to be filed electronically - it would reduce the workload on
CRA and perhaps reduce some of the inputting errors.
