A proposed change to Canada’s tax law could end religious groups’ charitable status, risking $16.5 billion in services, but no action is planned.
A report warns that removing "advancement of religion" from Canada’s charitable purposes could harm social and financial well-being, citing potential loss of $16.5 billion in services from faith-based groups.
The concern stems from a December 2024 recommendation to amend the Income Tax Act, which could end tax exemptions and donation receipts for religious organizations.
Critics argue the move, influenced by secular advocacy, would trigger a one-time revocation tax, threatening assets and undermining vital community services.
However, government officials confirm no changes are planned, with charitable status for religious groups secure under current law.
