On December 30, 2024, the Department of Finance announced the federal government’s intention to amend the Income Tax Act to extend the deadline for making charitable donations eligible for tax support in the 2024 tax year, to February 28, 2025. Following this, on January 23, 2025, the Department of Finance announced that it had released draft legislation in support of this proposed change, which will be introduced in Parliament in due course. The CRA has confirmed that it will proceed with administering the 2024 deadline extension for charitable donations. The CRA is administering this proposed legislation, consistent with its longstanding practice. 

As NLUC issues annual tax receipts, we will issue tax receipts for the 14-month period from January 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025. Because of the extension, the tax receipts will be issued later than usual and we expect them to be available in March. We will update you in a later newsletter.

Contributors who received their tax receipt last year by email will automatically continue to receive theirs electronically, unless a change is requested. If you would like to arrange for your tax receipt to be emailed this year, please contact the office by the end of February. Office phone 604-985-4911 or email office@nluc.org
