Canada Revenue Agency Extends T3010 Filing Deadlines

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Charities Directorate announced that the deadline for registered charities with Form T3010, Registered Charity Information Return, due between March 18, 2020, and December 31, 2020, will now be extended to December 31, 2020.

This provides relief to many registered charities as they will now have more time to complete and submit their T3010 and recognizes that charities will be focused on deploying their resources to address the effects of the rapidly evolving situation regarding COVID-19. Additionally, it provides time to registered charities who do not have access to their offices as a result of working from home, for example.

This relief does not apply to registered charities whose deadline to file their T3010 was at the end of February. CCVO encourages charities to register for CRA’s secure online services to complete and file their Form T3010 as all operations including CRA’s call centre, registration, and audit activities have been suspended until further notice.

CCVO will monitor these changes and update you with new developments regarding registered charities.
