Charitable Donations

Remember only registered charities are eligible for the tax credit. A tax credit reduces any federal tax owing, so you must have taxable income for this to be useful.

On the first $200 donated your credit is 15%, on the next dollar your credit is 29%. (If you gave $2800 your federal credit would be $784).

How do you get your receipts? Email - find them and print them, mail - wait for them, in person - pick it up.

Start your list now of who you gave to, to be ready at tax time.
