"have to transfer its property to an eligible donee or be subject to a revocation tax equivalent to the full value of its remaining assets (under Part V of the Income Tax Act)"
For clarification. Lets say you register a "charity" and over the course of operating this charity you raise $1,000,000. You pay yourself some salary for running the charity. You pay your wife for running some of the work as well. Heck, pay your kids and your friends too. If the CRA comes along and decides to perform a review *cough audit cough* and they determine you do not meet the definition of charity, you have to give that $1,000,000 to another registered charity. If you don't. They are taking your stuff.
Life lesson. Don't be a dick and make a fake charity because you are smarter than everyone else. You are not. You will get caught.
