The Advisory Committee on the Charitable Sector (“ACCS”) released its Report #3, dated July 15, 2021, subtitled “Towards a federal regulatory environment that enables and strengthens the charitable and non-profit sector” (“ACCS Report #3”). This is the third of a series of ongoing reports by the ACCS. In this ACCS Report #3, the ACCS makes 23 recommendations for action in two main areas: the relationship between the CRA’s Charities Directorate and charities (particularly those serving vulnerable populations); and the ability of charities to earn income from activities, such as related or unrelated business activities. This Bulletin provides an overview of the ACCS Report #3.
