CLERGY RESIDENCE DEDUCTION (t-1223)

When an employee is eligible to claim the Clergy Residence Deduction, the individual must enter the amount of that deduction when filing the T-1 General Income Tax Return. That amount is determined by completing the T-1223 form (download PDF). The form has 3 parts to be completed. The church or ministry as the employer will need to complete one of those parts. For more information on the Clergy Residence Deduction, you can download Interpretation Bulletin IT-141.

REGISTERED CHARITY INFORMATION RETURN (T3010)

Every church and ministry that has a Charitable Registration number issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) must file an information return annually with the CRA. The return must be filed no later than six months after the end of the church or ministry’s fiscal period. You can check the CRA’s website for more information about this and other items at the Charities Directorate website.

When completing the T3010 form, a registered charity will need to report gifts made to other registered charities or “qualified donees”. That includes support of the Alberta & NWT District, Vanguard College, and World Missions with The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. You will need to include the Charitable Registration number of the qualified donees amongst other information in that report. Below are the Charitable Registration number for the following:

• Alberta & NWT District of The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada – 118780279 RR 0001

STEWARDSHIP SERVICES

cHURCH STEWARDSHIP SEMINAR

PAOC Stewardship Services cares about families and their Biblical understanding of financial matters and wants to help those in our churches plan effectively for the future. We recognize the need for a diverse set of tools to help establish and maintain healthy stewardship and achieve godly goals in all aspects of family life. Radical Stewardship is presented by one of the Stewardship representatives on a Sunday morning in the local church.

Radical Stewardship is a 40-minute seminar dealing with budgeting, debt reduction, money management, retirement, and estate planning. It is fast paced and intensely practical with a few humorous moments. It is a biblically based journey starting today and concluding with your estate planning process.

Statistics tell us that more than half of Canadian adults do not have a financial plan and a written will. On request following the presentation, we assist constituents with writing of personal wills and Power of Attorney documents free of charge.

CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES

The purchase of charitable gift annuities is another service of PAOC Stewardship Services. A gift annuity is an investment purchased from the PAOC, which guarantees an individual and his/her spouse a fixed, quarterly income for the rest of their lives. This quarterly amount is usually higher than any other kind of secured investment. The minimum investment is $10,000.

It is the goal of Stewardship Services to bless our churches and constituents as we incorporate Biblical stewardship principles with financial planning decisions in all aspects of their lives.
