A taxpayer makes charitable donations of $1,300 in 2019. The spouse donates $600. Each of the individuals earn $70,000. What would be the maximum amount of charitable tax credit (round to nearest dollar) the taxpayer can claim for 2019? (In Canada)
Ans: In Canada there is a provision that a taxpayer can claims 53% amount of charitable tax credit or charitable donations in a year. Charitable donations in Canada are eligible for both federal and provincial donation tax credits, with combined incentives of up to 53 percent as up to $200 its 15% and more than $200 if donation then it will be 29% for credit as federal Plus 24% for provincial
Here , a taxpayer contributes $1,300 of Donations in 2019
Charitable tax credit= 15%of $200+ 29% of $1,100
= $30+ 319
=$349
Plus 24% for provincial= $1,300 * 24%
= $312
Total charitable tax credit= $349+$312
= $661
Also since each of the individuals earn $70,000 then there is no need to combine the donations of both the persons
