CRA to Revoke Charity Registrations

Summary#

The Canada Revenue Agency published a notice on June 27, 2026 listing many charities that it intends to revoke for failing to meet filing requirements under the Income Tax Act. The revocation is said to be effective on the date the notice appears in the Canada Gazette.

What it does#

• States that the CRA sent a “notice of intention to revoke” to a list of charities that did not meet filing requirements under the Income Tax Act.
• Says the revocation of registration for those charities is effective on the date the notice was published in the Canada Gazette (June 27, 2026).
• Publishes the charities by business number and name so the public and the organizations involved are officially informed.

Who's affected#

• The charities named in the notice — the Gazette lists dozens of groups across Canada. Examples include CENTRE DE LA PETITE ENFANCE LA JOYEUSE ÉQUIPÉE, NUTRITIONLINK SERVICES SOCIETY, and PAYUKOTAYNO: JAMES & HUDSON BAY FAMILY SERVICES.
• Donors, clients, staff, volunteers and local communities that rely on those charities may notice changes if the organizations’ registrations are revoked.
• It is not clear from the notice whether any other organizations beyond those listed are affected.

Why it matters#

• If a charity’s registration is revoked, it typically stops being a registered charity for tax purposes. That usually means it can no longer issue official donation receipts and may lose certain tax benefits.
• Donors and service users should check with any named organization before relying on its charitable status or tax receipts.
• The published list lets the public and the organizations verify whether a charity has been flagged for revocation and take any steps they need (for example, contacting the charity or the CRA).
