We have provided two letters recently released by the Canada Revenue Agency.
The first letter from CRA discusses whether a donation to a fund maintained and controlled by a municipality constitutes a gift for income tax purposes. The second letter from CRA discusses whether an estate can be a graduated rate estate before the actual designation as such is made on filing its tax return through the application of the charitable gifting rules in the Income Tax Act (Canada).
