Is Every Religion Charitable Under Canadian Charity Law?

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. This episode is jointly sponsored by B.I.G.
