Supreme Court dismisses appeal with costs for Choson Kallah Fund of Toronto

The Supreme Court of Canada has dismissed an appeal with costs by the Choson Kallah Fund of Toronto to a Federal Court of Appeal decision which I had written on previously at:
http://www.globalphilanthropy.ca/index.php/blog/cra_revokes_choson_kallah_fund_of_toronto/ and http://www.globalphilanthropy.ca/index.php/blog/canada_revenue_agency_deregistering_record_number_of_questionable_canadian_/ and
http://www.globalphilanthropy.ca/index.php/blog/millennium_charitable_foundation_case_fca_not_impressed_with_charity_tax_sh/  This is an important victory for those who do not want the charity sector in Canada to be overrun by tax avoidance and evasion schemes.  It also shows that with abusive charity tax schemes the Supreme Court is prepared to allow CRA to immediately revoke the charitable status rather than allowing them to keep their status while appealing all the way to the Supreme Court.
