The 2010 Federal Budget proposed several changes to the charitable and capital expenditure rules as well as the anti avoidance rule and disbursement quota. This seminar examines these changes and help charities prepare to adjust their administration practices, ensuring operations continue to adhere to the CRA guidelines while capitalizing on the advantages of the recent amendments.
