Gifts of Publicly Trade Securities and Mutual Funds

Printer-friendly version

Donating appreciated stocks or mutual funds is the most tax-effective way to make an outright gift during your lifetime or as part of a legacy gift.

Current legislation in Canada has eliminated capital gain tax on gifts of publicly traded securities, mutual funds and bonds to registered charities. A charitable tax receipt will be issued for the fair market value of the securities. No capital gains tax owing if gifted to a public charity.
