Question.

What are returns under the Income Tax Act?

Answer.

There are no end of sections in the Income Tax Act which are important for non-profits and charities. There are similar requirements that each organization must file returns, though the details of each kind of return are different for the two types of organizations. Failure to file a return can, in the case of Non-profits, result in fines while not filing the T3010 for a charity can lead to deregistration and a 100% tax on all its assets.
