The revised wording is:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Provide this employee&#8217;s job title and attach a copy of his or her job description describing all of his or her duties. The description should indicate the percentage of time per week that each duty takes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The prior wording was: <em>&#8220;Provide this employee&#8217;s job title and a list of his or her duties (or attach a copy of his or her job description).&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>CCCC Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Section 4 seeks to verify the information provided in section 3 dealing with how the individual meets the &#8220;function test,&#8221; which is an eligibility requirement in the Income Tax Act (ITA) for making a CRD claim.<\/p>\n<p>The prior version of the T1223 allowed the &#8220;list of his or her duties&#8221; to be used in completing the T1223. This list enabled individuals to demonstrate their eligibility in a way that most job descriptions are not designed to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The list is no longer allowed and a job description is now mandatory, along with a new CRA requirement for &#8220;percentage of time per week that each duty takes.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This job description now serves as<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>an in-house human resource tool;<\/li>\n<li>an assessment document for tax authorities to determine whether an individual does or does not meet the &#8220;function test.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CRA does not require the T1223 to be filed with an individual&#8217;s tax return; however, it must be retained on file by the individual in case of a CRA review.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CCCC Suggestions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Employers should carefully prepare job descriptions for individuals eligible to claim the CRD.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in this process is to review the item selected in the T1223&#8217;s Part B Section 3, which describes the employee&#8217;s function. The employee would have been described as<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>being in charge of a diocese, parish, or congregation;<\/li>\n<li>ministering to a diocese, parish, or congregation; or<\/li>\n<li>engaged exclusively in full-time administrative service by appointment of a religious order or religious denomination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>This choice must be clearly and unequivocally backed up by the employee&#8217;s job description.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This may involve revising the current job description. If so, the revisions should be reviewed with the employee and possibly legal counsel.The terms used in section 3 have been defined by the courts and accurately summarized in CRA Interpretation Bulletin IT-141R Consolidated (the &#8220;IT&#8221;).

Details that are needed for human resources purposes should be added as an appendix to help avoid clutter and potential confusion. A sample follows here:<\/p>\n<p>Job title: Youth Pastor<\/p>\n<p>Reports to: The Senior Pastor<\/p>\n<p>Primary Duty: To minister to the congregation of ____ Church, with emphasis on providing pastoral services to the youth of the church in the Teen Club, the Young Adults church groups, and youth in the surrounding neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<p>Key Responsibilities:<\/p>\n<p>20% &#8211; Lead weekly Teen Club meeting (lead prayer, Bible study, group and individual spiritual counseling; oversee games, sports and other activities).<\/p>\n<p>20% &#8211; Engage in weekly Young Adults group meeting (prayer, Bible study, group and individual spiritual counseling and participation in the group&#8217;s leadership).<\/p>\n<p>20% &#8211; Open time for spiritual outreach to youth in the community (specifics to be assigned by the Senior Pastor).<\/p>\n<p>15% &#8211; Leading special youth-focused worship services (either as part of Sunday services or special event services).<\/p>\n<p>10% &#8211; Dedicated time to personal spiritual development (e.g., theology course or other development approved by the Senior Pastor).<\/p>\n<p>15% &#8211; Administrative duties (e.g., attendance at leadership meetings &ndash; see attached appendix for details).<\/p>\n<p>\u3000<\/p>\n<p>CRA has not disclosed the reasons for the percentage requirement. However, it is reasonable to assume they are required to determine if the &#8220;function test&#8221; elements such as being &#8220;engaged exclusively in full-time administrative service&#8221; is factually correct or if &#8220;ministering&#8221; makes up the majority of a job&#8217;s duties.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Changes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The other changes in Part B of the T1223 appear to be more of a &#8220;housekeeping&#8221; nature.
