Charities can claim a 50% rebate on eligible purchases and expenses, whether or not they are registered for GST. If you have not filed for the GST rebate in the last 12 months you should do so as soon as possible. Charities can make claims for purchases up to four years prior. Information on filing the return, including forms and instructions is available at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/tpcs/gst-tps/bspsbch. In addition please see GST Rebate under the Bookkeeping Records, Chart of Accounts section for more information.
