Notice to the reader:
On March 4, 2010, the Minister of Finance presented the 2010 Federal Budget, containing measures that significantly alter the disbursement quota calculation for registered charities. These measures have introduced changes that affect this publication. For more information, visit Budget 2010 – Changes for charities

In January 2009, we stopped mailing out Guide T4033, Completing the Registered Charity Information Return, to all registered charities. For more information, please visit Print-to-Online Initiative

Please note that Guide RC4106, Registered Charities: Operating Outside Canada, is discontinued and replaced with our new guidance, Canadian Registered Charities Carrying Out Activities Outside Canada.
