修改加拿大税法的提议可能终止宗教团体的慈善地位,可能使165亿美元的服务面临风险,但并未计划采取任何行动。
A proposed change to Canada’s tax law could end religious groups’ charitable status, risking $16.5 billion in services, but no action is planned.
一份报告警告说,从加拿大的慈善事业中取消“宗教进步”可能会损害社会和财政福利,因为宗教团体的服务可能损失165亿美元。
A report warns that removing "advancement of religion" from Canada’s charitable purposes could harm social and financial well-being, citing potential loss of $16.5 billion in services from faith-based groups.
这一关切源于2024年12月关于修订《所得税法》的建议,该法可以终止宗教组织的免税和捐赠收入。
The concern stems from a December 2024 recommendation to amend the Income Tax Act, which could end tax exemptions and donation receipts for religious organizations.
批评者认为,在世俗宣传的影响下,这一举动将引发一次性撤销税,威胁资产和破坏重要的社区服务。
Critics argue the move, influenced by secular advocacy, would trigger a one-time revocation tax, threatening assets and undermining vital community services.
然而,政府官员确认没有计划作出改变,根据现行法律,宗教团体的慈善地位得到保障。
However, government officials confirm no changes are planned, with charitable status for religious groups secure under current law.
