CRA reminding Canadian registered charities to use the correct T3010 form

CRA is reminding charities to use the correct T3010 form in this notice, which we have reproduced below.  Even better, as CRA notes, is to get on the CRA MyBA system so your charity cannot use the wrong form!

We have noticed that the new grant-to-grantee rules have made some aspects of the T3010 a bit more complicated, and many charities are incorrectly filing in the form, as we have blogged about before. For those who are interested, we have an upcoming course, Fundamentals of the T3010 and Transparency for Canadian charities, on April 17th. You can register for the course here.

Here is the note from CRA:

Charities and giving – What’s new

Reminder: Make sure you are using the correct version of Form T3010

The Canada Revenue Agency released version 24 of Form T3010, Registered Charity Information Return in January 2024, to reflect new reporting requirements.

When completing your annual information return, make sure you choose the correct version of the form, depending on your fiscal period ending. If you must fill out your Form T3010 on paper, always go to our website and download the latest version of the form.

  • If your charity has a fiscal period ending on or after December 31, 2023, you must file your T3010 using version 24.
  • If your charity has a fiscal period ending on or before December 30, 2023, you should file your T3010 using version 23.

If you have a fiscal period ending on or after December 31, 2023 and send us an outdated version of the Form T3010, we will not accept your return for filing. If we do not receive the correct form, we may proceed to revoke your charity’s registered status.

The best way to complete your information return is online using My Business Account (MyBA) or Represent a Client. This ensures that you are automatically presented with the correct version, depending on the end of your fiscal period. For more information, go to Access our online services for charities.
