Objecting to the Canada Revenue Agency
Adam Aptowitzer, July 20, 2007

Objecting to the Canada Revenue Agency    In previous articles I have discussed the circumstances under which a charity may object to actions taken by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). In those articles I also discussed the manner in which a Notice of Objection can be filed. The Income Tax Act allows the Minister of National Revenue to change the methods by which an objection on behalf of a charity can be filed. In a document signed by Jeanne Flemming, Assistant Commissioner, Appeals on July 11, 2005 under the authority of a delegation of the Minister's powers, the Minister changed the method by which an Objection is made.     In order to object to actions of the CRA an objection must be made by letter addressed to the Assistant Commissioner, Appeals Branch of the CRA and delivering or mailing it to 25 Nicholas Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0L5.     This method applies to objections made to the Minister's actions to revoke, annul or deny registration to organizations. It also applies to organizations objecting to intermediate sanctions or other penalties or actions issuing under the Income Tax Act.
