According to CRA for 2010 there were claims on abusive charity gifting tax schemes of over $320 million. While a lot better than the 2006 numbers of 1.3 billion – it is still a significant problem.
According to CRA the updated 2009 numbers are below and the preliminary 2010 numbers are here as well.
Year 2009 2010
Donors 11, 919 9,978
Donations $330.5 M $321.8 M
These number were provided by the Chariites Directorate but they are assembled by the Compliance Program Branch, Aggressive Tax Planning division.
