Donate publicly traded securities
The federal government has made it more attractive to make donations to charities. Now, donations of publicly listed securities to SMARTRISK will be exempted from all capital gains taxation.
By donating publicly traded shares to SMARTRISK, you will now not pay any capital gains tax normally associated with such a disposition. This means that you receive a tax receipt for the full value of the shares but are not taxed on any gain. Donors of securities therefore do not need to take any capital gain into income.
Your charitable receipt will reflect the closing price of the shares on the date they are received in SMARTRISK’s brokerage account.
Eligible securities include shares, bonds, bills, warrants, futures, units in mutual trust funds and shares acquired through employee stock options.
If you wish to donate publicly traded securities, call Chan Ramakrishna, Accountant, at 416-596-2712. The entire transaction can be easily accomplished over the phone. The Director of Finance will assist you in completing a share transfer form.
