The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has updated its guidance and its application form so that organizations can apply for designation as a qualified Canadian journalism organization (QCJO). Organizations can also request a determination regarding its digital subscription by completing and submitting form T622, Digital News Subscription Tax Credit – Eligible Subscription.
Apply for QCJO designation:
Journalism organizations are encouraged, where possible, to apply for designation as a QCJO or determination regarding its digital subscription by submitting their materials through the My Business Account portal during the COVID-19 pandemic, to help facilitate the receipt and review of their materials, given current resource constraints. However, you can always mail your application to:
Canada Revenue Agency
Journalism Section
Place de Ville, Tower A, 320 Queen Street
6th floor
Ottawa, ON K1A 0L5
