The Government of Canada has announced a call for applications for new members for the Independent Advisory Board on Eligibility for Journalism Tax Measures (Advisory Board).
The Advisory Board is an independent body whose mandate is to:
- provide an independent assessment and a non-binding recommendation to the Minister of National Revenue (Minister) as to whether an organization that applies for designation as a qualified Canadian journalism organization (QCJO) satisfies certain conditions set out in the Income Tax Act; and
- provide advice on any other matter relating to any journalism tax measure that the Minister refers to the Advisory Board.
