IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.....

   In January 2010, the CRA sent her a letter informing her that 100 per cent of the $750,000 charitable donation she had claimed on her taxes was being disallowed because the Dillon Foundation’s Canadian charity status had been revoked.
   But that’s not all: The entire plan was a tax cheat scheme, according to the government.
   “The ‘Donation Arrangement’ was orchestrated and promoted for the sole purpose of avoiding Canadian tax,” the letter read. “(It) was a sham designed to make the appearance that there was a donation, that the funds were used for charitable purposes, when in fact, none existed.”
   And then things got worse. Pace Lindsay learned the CRA was considering a criminal investigation against her and others who had donated to the Dillon Foundation.
