Political donations give you the greatest tax benefit next to not paying tax.

When you donate to the Thunder Bay - Rainy River Conservative Association you will get a federal tax deduction that is taken directly off your taxes payable. That means that unlike other tax credits valued at 17% of the amount spent (charitable donations) and then applied to taxable income before taxes are calculated. For a political donation, the tax benefit is valued at as high as 75% of the amount spent (See below) and are applied to your actual taxes payable.

A simple example is a $100 charitable donation and $100 political donation. Taxable income of $1000 and a tax rate of 10%

Here is the actual benefit Income Tax Credit Taxable Income Taxes to be paid:

• For $100 charitable $1000 $100 x 17% $983 $98.30
• For $100 Political $1000 $100 x 75% $1000 $100 - $75 = $25

Massive difference in both the rate of tax credit to be used and when it is used.

Cash donations up to $20 are allowed.

For 2021, the maximum allowable contribution to a registered Canadian political party increases to $1650.00. Accordingly, we will now accept donations of this amount through our website. The maximum possible tax credit is $650.00.
