How to Maximize the Tax Benefits of Donating

Federal and provincial donation tax credits add up

By donating to your favourite charity, you may receive as much as 49% of the amount you donated back at tax time. That could mean a $494 tax credit on a total of $1000 donated in a single year in some provinces.

Carry previous donations forward for a larger tax credit

You do not have to claim all of the donations you made in the year they were made. When you donate over $200, you are automatically eligible to carry them forward and claim them on your tax return for any of the next five years. This flexibility means that the unclaimed carry-forward portion may qualify for a larger tax deduction, in the future.

Reduce Capital Gains Taxes

In most cases, donating appreciated stocks, mutual funds or stock options means you pay no tax on the capital gains. Or save your charitable tax credits for future tax returns within 5 years of the transaction.

Transfer donation credits to your spouse or common-law partner

The donation tax credit is a non-refundable tax credit which means other tax credits must get claimed first to bring your tax payable to zero. If you cannot claim your donation amount on your tax return, pool your donations with your partners for a larger tax credit on their tax return.
