The Jewish National Fund of Canada is taking the minister of national revenue to court, arguing a decision to revoke its charitable status was "flawed and fundamentally unfair."The Jewish National Fund of Canada is taking the Minister of National Revenue to court over a decision to revoke their charitable status following a CRA audit.
The Canada Revenue Agency conducted an audit of JNF Canada's operations over a complaint that it used charitable donations to build infrastructure for the Israel Defence Forces , in violation of Canadian tax rules.In its guide for Canadian registered charities carrying out activities outside Canada, the CRA states plainly that "increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of Canada's armed forces is charitable, but supporting the armed forces of another country is not.
The decision to revoke the JNF's charitable status "should be vacated or quashed on the basis that there is a reasonable apprehension of bias in the minister's decision," the court filing said.The JNF's filing said the minister first notified the JNF of its intention to revoke its charitable status in 2019.
"Our position is that it is unjust for CRA to revoke a charity because a charitable object that it accepted almost 60 years ago is now no longer considered to be a valid charitable object," Disenhouse said in the statement.National Revenue Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau shown here in the House of Commons in April.
