Canada’s decision to revoke JNF’s tax-exempt status seems politically motivated.
On Aug. 10, the Canadian branch of the registered charity, Jewish National Fund (JNF), received an email from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), notifying it that its charitable status had been revoked, effective immediately.
The grounds stated for revoking the status, which enabled JNF Canada to issue charitable receipts for income tax purposes, was that the organization had strayed from the objective for which it had originally been granted charity status.
