MAKE A DONATION
Aviation Connection’s charitable status allows the organization to issue official tax receipts to private donors as well as businesses.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES ?
Tax credits:
For individuals, the amount of the donation gives entitlement to a non-refundable tax credit equivalent to 53% of the value of the donation (Quebec residents). It is claimed on line 349 of Schedule 1 of the federal income tax return and line 596 of the provincial income tax return. These credits vary according to the province of residence (between 39.75% and 53% of the value of the donation).
For businesses, the tax benefits can be very attractive and vary by province. Corporate donations also have the advantage of improving branding at low cost.
