The organization is not structured in such a way that directors can effectively approve or assess expenditure in detail. For this reason, it appears that there are grounds for withdrawal of the Organization's charitable status under section 168(1)(b) of the Act.
Failure To Maintain Adequate Books And Records
The submitted supporting documentation was not sufficient to justify that the Organization's expenditures during the audit period were incurred in support of its charitable purposes. In our view, the organization has failed to keep adequate books and records in accordance with section 230(2) and is therefore in contravention of subsection 168(1)(e) of the Act.
The organization has issued official donation receipts for amounts that do not meet the definition of a gift. As a result, the organization did not comply with requirements regarding the issuance of official donation receipts.
Filing the Registered Charity Information Return (Information Return) As Prescribed
Tremblay was the only individual involved in determining the value of these receipts and did not seek any independent confirmation of the amounts for which the receipts were issued. In this case, the Director-General of the Charities Directorate may give notice of his intention to cancel the organisation's registration by issuing a notice of intention in the manner described in subsection 168(1) of the Act. b) Response. An organization by issuing a notice of intention in the manner described in subsection 168(1) of the Act.
This piece of land will house all double-decker buses and other buses and vehicles converted into alternative homes among the exhibition's other exhibits. It is hoped that with good management, some profit can be generated from the rental of low-cost alternative housing and that this money will become a steady source of income to finance the society's projects. The association's goal is to create a space on the site that can be used for collecting, sorting and recycling discarded materials.

We have reviewed the organization's statements dated November 20, 2015 and maintain our view that the issues of non-compliance identified during the audit constitute a serious breach of the requirements of the Act and that the organization's registration should be revoked as a result of this non-compliance. For organizational purposes, the remaining presentations are separated by topic and titled accordingly.
Failure of the Organization to Devote its Resources to Charitable Activities in Accordance With the Requirements of the Act
2 No specific advice was provided to the organization directing it to divest its assets. Documentation, such as a website address or web content, was provided to support the Organization's claim that it had in fact attempted to raise public awareness of “The Old Double Deckers Museum”. The AFL did state that the Organization had a “tile bank” consisting of two shipping containers with floor tiles and other flooring materials.
In its response, the Organization claims that all attempts to give the tiles to a registered charity have failed. In fact, our audit findings revealed that the organization simply used its limited resources to acquire and store its stock of tiles. 4 The Organization's response did not change our position that the Organization failed to demonstrate that its "tile bank" alleviated poverty in the charitable sense.
The organization started acquiring items from thrift stores for recycling with the intention of generating some money and starting a recycling school. As such, the Organization has not demonstrated that it alleviates poverty or that its activities promote other recognized charitable purposes. Similar to the "tile bank", the organization used its limited resources to acquire and store its inventory of goods.
Failure to be Constituted for Exclusively Charitable Purposes
All documentation available to the organization regarding expenditure was provided at the time of the audit. Tremblay personally paid in cash and did not receive a receipt to save the organization money. Tremblay had to pay out of his own pocket many times for Organization expenses that were not on the books.
Tremblay provides services to the landlord of the Duncan property in exchange for rent for the organization. Tremblay in his duties as director and for the organization's charitable activities and purposes. As mentioned above, our audit findings revealed that the organization did not implement any charitable programs.
The storage provider provided the storage space free of charge to the organization in exchange for janitorial and security services provided by Mr. We have no concerns with the storage provider that provides free storage to the organization. The organization's response has not allayed our concerns and our position remains that the organization failed to devote all of its resources to charitable activities and it provided personal benefits to Mr.
Failure to Maintain Adequate Books and Records
The organization was not structured to effectively allow directors to approve or review expenditures in detail. This lack of approval or review contributes to our concern that the above expenses were incurred to give Mr. an unacceptable private benefit. As explained in AFL, official donation receipts issued by the organization did not comply with the requirements of the Act and/or Regulation 3501.
The receipts were not properly insured and the values used for gifts in kind were determined solely by Mr. Tremblay, who was experienced in determining the fair market value of items, always used a conservative approach based on appraised value. While mass valuation or weighted valuation may be a reasonable method of valuing a particular asset, the onus is on the organization to demonstrate that the valuation method it used was reasonable for the various types of assets it was for.
A verbal assertion that amounts are fair market value is not sufficient support for valuation. The Organization's response did not address the fact that its invoices did not meet the requirements of the Income Tax Act and Regulations. Following our review of the Organization's response, our position has not changed; The Organization's admissions practices do not meet its responsibilities under the law.
Filing the Registered Charity Information Return (Information Return) as Prescribed
It remains our position that the organization has failed to file accurate information returns as required by subsection 149.1(14) of the Act. The Minister may, in the manner described in section 168, revoke the registration (a) of a registered charity if it has entered into a transaction (including a donation to another registered charity) and it can reasonably be assumed that a purpose of the . the transaction was intended to avoid or unnecessarily delay the expenditure of amounts on charitable activities; The Minister may give notice by registered mail to a person described in any of paragraphs (a) to (c) of the definition “qualified donee” in subsection 149.1(1) that the Minister proposes to withdraw his registration as the person. a) submits a written request for withdrawal of his registration to the Minister;

Information) Act, that a certificate served in respect of the charity under subsection 5(1) of that Act is reasonable on the basis of the information available and evidence. (a) the charity's tax year that would otherwise have included that day is deemed to end at the end of that day; A charity referred to in paragraph (1) shall be liable for a tax equal to the amount determined by the formula for the tax year deemed to have ended. is the total of all amounts, each of which is the same. (a) the fair market value of any property of the charity at the end of that tax year, (b) the amount of any appropriation (within the meaning conferred by subsection (2)) in respect of any property transferred to another person in the 120-day Period ending at the end of that tax year, or.

If, during the one-year period beginning immediately after the end of a person's tax year, the Minister has assessed the person in respect of that person's tax liability under section 188(1.1) for that tax year, he shall thereafter not period reassessed.
