To meet their obligations under the Income Tax Act (Canada), all registered charities must file a Registered Charity Information Return (T3010) on an annual basis within six months of their financial year end. Canada Revenue Agency has issued an update for filing the information return. As of October 8, 2018, the mailing address for filing the information return will now be:
Charities Directorate
Canada Revenue Agency
105 – 275 Pope Road
Summerside PE C1N 6E8
This change of address only applies to the information return. All other correspondence to the Charities Directorate that is sent by mail should still be sent to:
Charities Directorate
Canada Revenue Agency
Ottawa ON K1A 0L5.
Any information return mailed to the Ottawa address after October 8, 2018 will be automatically forwarded to the new address, however this may result in delays in the information return being processed.
