In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/noteworthy\/2019\/06\/24\/the-senate-report-on-the-charitable-sector-what-you-need-to-know\/\">Part\nOne<\/a>, we looked at the context of uncertainty surrounding the report and\nnoted that there is no guarantee the recommendations will be pursued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonetheless, we can\u2019t assume they will be ignored, and it\u2019s\nimportant to know the types of changes that could be made (or at least\nconsidered!) for the charitable sector. Today we\u2019ll highlight some of the\nrecommendations relating to donations, along with proposals to consider\namending the <a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/acts\/i-3.3\/\"><em>Income Tax Act<\/em><\/a> (\u201c<em>ITA<\/em>\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donations are the lifeblood of charities,<a href=\"#_edn1\">[1]<\/a>\nand the report recommends that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/programs\/about-canada-revenue-agency-cra\/corporate-reports-information\/advisory-committee-charitable-sector.html\">Advisory Committee on the\nCharitable Sector<\/a> (\u201cACCS\u201d) review existing tax measures available to\nindividual donors. Testimony before the Committee expressed concern about an\naging donor population and overcoming misperceptions that there is (or ought to\nbe) a bright red line between running an organization and the mission of an\norganization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite a desire to \u201cstrengthen the culture of giving among\nnew and current\u201d donors,<a href=\"#_edn2\">[2]<\/a>\nthere did not appear to be a consensus amongst witnesses as to how this could\nor should be achieved. Nor did the Committee examine the pros and cons of\nvarious options, or the extent of support for the proposals amongst the\ncharitable sector as to the best way forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Witnesses raised a number of possibilities, including\nlooking to past initiatives (such as first-time donor super credits and stretch\ntax credits), raising the donation tax credit to a flat 33%, or tying greater\ntax relief to \u201cpriorities established by the government.\u201d<a href=\"#_edn3\">[3]<\/a>&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, a re-examination of incentives to donate could\nprove helpful and achieve mutual benefits for both charities and taxpayers. But\nif enhanced tax relief is tied to governmental policy priorities that could\nleave many donors \u2013 and charities \u2013 disadvantaged if their priorities do not\nhappen to match those of the governing political party of the day. This could\nlead to significant volatility even within a mandate if priorities change,\nwhether from an internal shift or an external impetus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other recommendations relate to a pilot project to assess\nthe impact of exempting donations of private shares from capital gains tax,<a href=\"#_edn4\">[4]<\/a>\na study to consider incentivising donations of non-environmental real estate,<a href=\"#_edn5\">[5]<\/a>\nand a look at how to ensure that donations don\u2019t languish in donor advised\nfunds (\u201cDAFs\u201d) but are used in a timely fashion to fund charitable activities.<a href=\"#_edn6\">[6]<\/a>\nRegarding DAFs, there were reservations expressed by some witnesses about\ndelayed distribution, lack of transparency, concentration of assets and\nconflicts of interest. On the other hand, there were concerns raised about\nwhether the cure would be worse than the disease. DAFs\u2019 average distribution\nwas said to be approximately 12%, which was noted to be three times what is\ncurrently required of a private foundation.<a href=\"#_edn7\">[7]<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This, in turn, raised a question about disbursement quotas,<a href=\"#_edn8\">[8]<\/a>\nand despite the reservations expressed by a number of witnesses \u2013 one of whom\ndescribed the topic as a \u201crabbit hole\u201d \u2013 the Committee recommended that the\nACCS study the disadvantages and advantages of amending the disbursement quota\nfor registered charities, and where that should be done (i.e. statute or\nregulation).<a href=\"#_edn9\">[9]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of statutes, the Committee proposed that the\ncharities-related sections of the <em>Income\nTax Act<\/em> be reviewed every five years<a href=\"#_edn10\">[10]<\/a>\n(likely an ambitious goal!). The report also suggested reconsidering the tax\ndistinction between public benefit and member-benefit not-for-profits<a href=\"#_edn11\">[11]<\/a>\nand reviewing the circumstances under which an individual is characterized as\nan \u201cineligible individual\u201d and prohibited from serving on a board of directors.<a href=\"#_edn12\">[12]<\/a>\nNo doubt this last recommendation could result in helpful changes for\nministries serving individuals who have found themselves entangled in the\ncriminal justice system in the past or present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With such a broad mandate, it shouldn\u2019t come as surprise\nthat the report contains a \u2018mixed bag\u2019 of recommendations \u2013 some with a\npotentially positive impact, some with a potentially negative impact, and some\nwith an unknown impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll continue to look at more of the ups and downs in the\nreport in the next post.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#_ednref1\">[1]<\/a> The report\ncites Statistics Canada figures that $8.6 billion of $12.8 billion in\ncharitable donations was claimed for credits by tax filers in 2013 (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www150.statcan.gc.ca\/n1\/pub\/11-627-m\/11-627-m2015006-eng.htm\"><em>Charitable\nGiving in Canada<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>16\nDecember 2015; Statistics Canada, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www150.statcan.gc.ca\/n1\/daily-quotidien\/190208\/cg-c001-eng.htm\">Total Charitable Donations of Tax Filers, 1997 to\n2017<\/a>,\u201d <em>The Daily<\/em>, 8 February 2019)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#_ednref2\">[2]<\/a>\nRecommendation 9, Report p. 44<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#_ednref3\">[3]<\/a>\nReport, pp. 43-44<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#_ednref4\">[4]<\/a>\nRecommendation 34, Report p. 108; For information on donating <em>public<\/em> shares see CCCC Bulletin\nArticles, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/bulletin_article\/529\">The Positives of Donating Publicly\nListed Securities<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/bulletin_article\/181\">Enhanced Incentive for Donating Publicly Listed\nSecurities (Shares)<\/a>.
