Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Charities Directorate
“As part of government measures to manage the impact of the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Charities Directorate is extending the filing deadline to December 31, 2020 for all organizations that were due to submit their T3010, Registered Charity Information Return, between March 18, 2020 and December 31, 2020. This will give charities more time to complete and submit their T3010. We understand that charities will be focusing their efforts on mobilizing their resources to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 situation.
The Charities Directorate has suspended all activities until further notice. This includes our call center, registration and audit activities. If you are looking for information on operating a charity, we encourage you to visit our Charities and Giving web page.
We encourage charities to register for CRA’s secure online services. Through My Business Account, you and your representatives can access the new digital services available to charities. This will enable you to complete and submit your T3010, Registered Charity Information Return, online.”
