Priest on the hook for $5.7K after CRA rejects donation receipts from his church
With his appeal to CRA denied, Father Stephen Amesse of St. Patrick Basilica is heading to tax court
The rector of St. Patrick Basilica is heading to tax court after the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) refused to accept thousands of dollars worth of receipts for donations he made to his own church.
Father Stephen Amesse said he donates a significant share of his salary to the basilica on Kent Street every year.
"I give a considerably amount of money," he said. "I believe, as a pastor, I have to give example."
He said CRA had never rejected his claims for tax credits for charitable donations before — until the 2022 tax year.
Amesse said CRA first asked for tax receipts, but when he provided them the agency still wanted proof of payment, so he sent church envelopes.
In his view, those envelopes confirmed the payments, made partly by cheque and partly in cash. He said he also sent a spreadsheet from the church's accountant to back them up.
"The next thing I hear is through email I get a bill for $5,600, without an explanation, and three days later they send an email explaining that they are not accepting my donations," he said.
That figure has now risen to about $5,700 with interest.
"I appealed, and it goes back and forth, four times sending copies of the envelopes, four times sending a copy of our receipts, and in August of this year I get a letter from the appeal division," Amesse said.
His objection was denied. The letter said his receipts did not have a registered charity number. Amesse found that absurd.
"Our receipt clearly has a charity number on it," he said.
He provided CBC with copies of the receipts, which include the registered charity number of the basilica.
"That's the frustrating part," said Amesse. "I can see it, everyone can see it, but for some reason they can't."
'They don't seem to listen'
The CRA also pointed to a provision of the Income Tax Act stating that proof of payment is required when there is a "non-arm's length relationship between the taxpayer and the charitable organization." The letter claimed that the agency did not receive proof.
But Amesse said the envelopes are the proof. Each envelope has a number, uniquely assigned to him, and they record the date and the amount of each donation, which is counted and verified by church volunteers.
"They have been, for years, accepted by CRA as proof of donations because, again, many of our donations are cash," he said.
Amesse said he's met a brick wall when trying to contact the officers involved in his case.
"What's frustrating is they don't seem to listen," he said. "It's so obvious that there's a registration number on it."
In an email response to CBC, CRA declined to discuss specific details of the case but provided general comments about charitable donations. It confirmed that St. Patrick Basilica is a registered charity that can issue tax receipts.
It said charities can issue receipts to their directors or employees as with any other donor. As for proof of payment, it said it may accept a cancelled cheque, a cheque image, a credit card slip, a pledge form or a stub.
Asked whether church envelopes are accepted, CRA simply repeated that same list of options. Amesse said he sees no difference between a pledge form, for example, and a church envelope.
"It's not only frustrating — it's scary, in a way," he said. "It's money that I don't have, and it's money that was given to a legitimate charity for legitimate reasons, all of which CRA is supposed to accept."
Accountant says CRA taking firmer approach
Christine Prins, a chartered professional accountant and partner with Parker Prins Lebano, said CRA has become less lenient in recent years.
"Certainly they seem to be taking a much firmer stance in applying their policies in a more thorough way," she said. "I think in this particular case, the issue is the relationship between the donor and the charity, and they're using a higher level of scrutiny and skepticism."
She said CRA is within its rights to not accept the church envelopes.
"I would suggest that unless the cash or the cheque is still in the envelope that probably isn't sufficient, especially in this case where there could be some independence issues between the donor and the church," said Prins.
Despite the ordeal he's faced over his 2022 donations, Amesse said CRA has accepted his donations for the 2023 tax year.
"I got the same request to provide a receipt and they accepted it," he said. "The receipt is the same."
He said he's had to pay $250 to apply at tax court, but can't justify the cost of paying a lawyer to fight his case. He plans to represent himself.
"That's always a little unnerving, because I'm not familiar with tax rules," he said.
Prins said Amesse should be able to prove payment for the cheque amounts. The cash transactions will be far more difficult — though the tax court may be more forgiving than the officials at CRA.
"Certainly he has a higher chance of making his case in tax court and a judge has some leniency in terms of accepting evidence that might be outside the administrative abilities of the CRA," she said.

> Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
> To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com"<motomaniac333@gmail.com>
>
> Mr. David Raymond Amos
> motomaniac333@gmail.com
>
>
> Dear Mr. Amos:
>
> Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
> and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.
>
> This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
> the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
> tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
> that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
> opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
> strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.
>
> The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
> and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
> tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
> government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
> evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
> offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
> federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
> $2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.
>
> More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
> auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
> increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
> sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
> and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
> promoters of abusive tax schemes.
>
> On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
> its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
> its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
> recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
> Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
> projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
> the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
> Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
> Panama Papers leaks.
>
> These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
> protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
> technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
> arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
> ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
> promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
> audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
> investigations where warranted, and better communication with
> taxpayers.
>
> To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
> increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
> products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
> and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
> can educate their clients.
>
> The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
> representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
> schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
> lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
> court fines, and jail time.
>
> Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
> investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
> tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
> the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
> and 734 months of jail time.
>
> When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
> consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
> solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
> and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
> owed are considered.
>
> More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
> scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
> CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
> of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
> CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
> Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
> structures.
>
> To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
> March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
> and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
> Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
> University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
> relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
> the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
> review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
> had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
> file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
> took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
> concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
> appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
> consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
> report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
> the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
> evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
> employees involved in the case.
>
> Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
> employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
> of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
> employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
> Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
> protecting the CRA’s integrity.
>
> The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
> misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
> on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
> disciplinary measures up to dismissal.
>
> All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
> Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
> cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
> coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
> whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
> that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
> compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
> for tips received.
>
> The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
> place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
> provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
> that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
> OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
> informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
> information the CRA received through the OTIP.
>
> With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
> internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
> CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
> For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
> information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
> $10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
> proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
> raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
> totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
> taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
> approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
> audits.
>
> In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
> tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
> aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
> daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
> (JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
> CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
> working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
> collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
> relationships with the international community, which will help it
> refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.
>
> The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
> success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
> result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
> Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
> relating to large businesses and multinational companies.
>
> But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
> investments are underway.
>
> Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
> choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
> strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
> expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
> this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/
