Under the existing legislation, if a credit union earns more than 10% of its revenue from sources other than certain specified sources (such as interest income from lending activities), it would not meet the definition of “credit union” and the income tax and GST/HST rules governing credit unions would no longer apply to it. This could arise even though the credit union’s governing legislation permits it to earn revenue from these other sources.
