Subsection 189(1) - Tax regarding non-qualified investment
Administrative Policy
5 December 2019 Internal T.I. 2017-0683831I7 - Prescribed Rates and Undue Benefits
Headquarters rejected the proposition that where a registered charity that is a private foundation makes a loan at the prescribed rate of interest when the loan recipient receives the loan because of that debtor’s relationship with the private foundation or the foundation’s board of directors, the avoidance of any s. 189(1) tax on the debtor (because of the prescribed rate being used) means that there cannot be a penalty for undue benefits imposed on the private foundation under s. 188.1(4) in respect of the loan.

Subsection 189(7) - Minister may assess
Cases
Humane Society of Canada for the Protection of Animals and the Environment v. Canada (National Revenue), 2015 FCA 178
The appellant appealed a CRA decision to revoke its registration, which was made on grounds which included reference to substantial amounts paid for what appeared to be personal expenditures of an officer and director.
Ryer JA found (at para. 59) that s. 189(7) provided "a complete answer" to the appellant's submission that the availability to the Minister of the imposition of penalties on the appellant under s. 188.1(4) meant that the Minister was precluded from revoking the appellant's registration.
See summaries under s. 168(1)(e) and s. 172(3)(a.1).
