YOU CAN DONATE SHARES!
There is a big advantage if you donate shares of a mutual fund or a stock to The Windsor Residence for Young Men. Canada Revenue Agency allows you to donate shares and not pay capital gains tax on the sale. You win two ways - you get the charitable donation credit and you also save the capital gains tax. You must donate the shares directly. Here’s the advantage for a donation of $10,000: Tax saved = $4,640 @ 46.4% Tax saved = $1,160 on capital gain Net cost = $4,200 to you For example: for 1000 shares of "ABC Fund" with a current market value of $10.00 a share and an Adjusted Cost Base of $5.00 per share, the capital gain is $5,000. The 50% taxable capital gain is $2,500. Capital gains tax would be $1,160 (based on 46.4% tax rate). Your tax rate may be different. The charitable donation tax credit is 46.4% on any amounts above $200.
