On December 30, 2024, the Government of Canada announced the extension of 2024 charitable donations to February 28, 2025. What does this mean for donors?
On December 30, 2024, the Government of Canada announced that they would be introducing proposed legislation to make charitable donations made before February 28, 2025, eligible for inclusion in personal tax filings for 2024. This means that if a donation is made from January 1, 2025, to February 28, 2025, the donor may choose to use their donation tax receipt towards their 2024 income tax filing.
The prorogation of Parliament announced on January 6 should not affect this announcement, as the intent to introduce legislation should still allow the CRA to recognize tax receipts dated from January 1 to February 28, 2025, as eligible for 2024 tax filing.
Once again, any donation made in 2025 will receive a tax receipt dated for 2025. The legislation, when/if introduced, should allow tax receipts from January 1, 2025, to February 28, 2025, to be claimed on 2024 tax filings.
If your donation was submitted through the mail, a tax receipt will be issued for the postmarked date on the envelope received by ALS Canada. Please be aware that the recent Canada Post strike may have impacted the postmark date.
As a best practice, it is recommended that you keep records of donations in case adjustments are needed.
