CCPERB | Communiqué: CCPERB Secretariat Workshops

Starting this fall, the Secretariat to the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board (CCPERB) will offer virtual workshops in order to help you better understand the processes related to CCPERB’s duties: certification of cultural property for income tax purposes, review of refused applications for cultural property export permits and determination of the amount of a fair cash offer.

Workshops will familiarize participants with the online certification application tool (CCPERB Online) and resources available on the CCPERB’s website to help you prepare and submit a certification application or a request for review of an export permit application that has been refused.

Over the next six months, the thematic workshops will cover the following:

• Certification of cultural property for income tax purposes (overview)
• CCPERB Online, the certification portal (certification)
• Writing an effective outstanding significance justification (certification)
• About monetary appraisals (certification)
• Request for review of an application for an export permit and about fair cash offers (overview)
