Khan v. R. – TCC: Court rejects evidence of charitable donations

Sep 22, 2017 By Bill Innes

Précis: Mr. Khan claimed charitable donations of $9,000 and $8,000 in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The Minister disallowed the donations and, in so doing, opened otherwise statute-barred years. All of the charities concerned had subsequently had their charitable status revoked by CRA either for issuing inadequate receipts or failure to keep proper books and records. The Court accepted the Minister’s position that the donations in question were not reliable and dismissed Mr. Khan’s appeal. There was no order as to costs since this was an informal procedure appeal.
