Meet John & Jane Smith: They love giving regularly to their favorite charities, but when a big business sale left them with a hefty tax bill, their usual approach wasn't going to cut it. The solution? A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) allowed them to keep giving consistently and maximize their donations. By using a DAF, they turned a $200,000 donation $240,000 (extending their charitable impact by 2 extra years), all while saving on taxes! Learn more about how a DAF can work for you in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/gU4ABy3d **** Content in this material is for general information only and not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual.

If you're considering making a donation to a registered charity this year, here's a valuable tip: donating publicly traded securities 'in-kind' from your corporation can offer significant benefits. This method not only eliminates a capital gain but also provides a deduction for the fair value of the security donated and a credit to the Capital Dividend Account. It's a fantastic opportunity to extract funds from the corporation as a tax-free capital dividend. Remember, each personal situation is unique, and tax rates vary by province, potentially impacting your decision on where the donation should be derived from. Seek advice. #CharityDonation #TaxBenefits #CorporateGiving
