Charitable Giving


Give to charity by way of flow-through shares & receive additional tax deductions

Charitable giving is a popular way for Canadian investors to donate to the charity of their choice and at the same time receive additional tax savings.   Shares of a mutual fund corporation, such as those to be received by investors at the time of the mutual fund rollover transactions qualify for charitable giving.

 

Charitable donations should be limited to 75% of net income, in any given year. Amounts donated in excess of 75% are not deductible in the year of donation and are carried forward for up to 5 years.
