(Canadian Press) A long-established Muslim international relief charity says it will ask a federal court to overturn the national revenue agency’s decision to suspend its ability to issue tax receipts following an audit.
Ottawa-based Human Concern International says the Canada Revenue Agency’s penalty is unwarranted and just the latest example of the agency’s unfair targeting of Muslim charities for scrutiny.
HCI, a registered charity since 1983, has provided humanitarian aid and development support to tens of millions of individuals and families around the world in its mission to save lives and move people from crises to sustainability.
It has collected funds from some 50,000 Canadian donors and established partnerships with more than 1,000 organizations.
