The Canadian Money Roadmap

A gift for the person who has everything

November 22, 2023

Evan Neufeld, CFP®

Have you ever struggled with finding the perfect gift for that person in your life who seems to have everything? This week, fellow financial planner Jordan Arndt joins me to propose a unique and meaningful solution: charitable gifts. Our conversation takes us through the concept of Giving Tuesday, showcasing the importance of giving back during the holiday season and the key role it plays in our communities.

But the benefits of charitable giving extend into the financial world as well.  We break down how making donations to registered charities can have a significant impact on your tax bill. We talk about everything from non-refundable and refundable credits, different brackets for tax credits based on donation amounts, and the exciting concept of matching campaigns. We underscore the importance of researching before donating and highlight the various tax credits available, including the ability to transfer them to a spouse or carrying them forward for five years. So tune in and let's explore the power of generosity and its potential perks this holiday season!
