Important Notice: Elections Canada rules for contribution to Candidates have recently changed. You will find below a summary of the limits and the Income Tax Credits that would apply. For detailed information go to www.elections.ca and specifically to the Contributions section.

And remember, all contributions qualify you for a tax credit of up to 75%

 

Income tax credits - Your donation is tax deductible!
This means that a donation of $400, for example, actually costs you only $100!

Limits on contributions by individuals

Any individual who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada may make these contributions:
  • up to $1,100 in total in a calendar year to a Riding Association and Candidate (in total for both). Please note that contributions to Mark Holland all go through the Ajax-Pickering Federal Liberal Association
  • up to $1,100 in total in a calendar year to a Registered Party

    So, this means an individual can contribute a maximum of $2,200 in a calendar year.


Limits on contributions by corporations and trade unions

As of January 1, 2007, corporations or trade unions CANNOT CONTRIBUTE ANYMORE
