Today’s preview: Gifting Investments

Why You Should Take This CE Savvy Biz Ed™ Course:  Most wealthy Canadians are already philanthropic, but there is still plenty of room for additional contributions at higher giving levels. There is a great opportunity for high-net-worth Canadians to speak to their financial advisors to foster further discussions about philanthropy that focuses on impact, values and financial success. In this module, you will learn about the different types of planned gifts that might be appropriate for different circumstances or life-stages.

What You Will Learn in this CE Savvy Biz Ed™ Course: Planning a legacy gift to a favorite charity is a tribute to family and community. The decision is emotional, with financial and historical consequences that can last for generations. Deciding what kind of gift, when to give, and how much to give can be exhausting, and to do it successfully requires comprehensive tax and estate planning. This module is designed to address these issues by introducing the benefits of donating appreciated property, specifically appreciated securities.

What you will learn:

• What is the capital gains inclusion rate for gifts of securities?
• What are two key benefits to donating securities and why is this often better than donating cash from a tax perspective?
• What is a ‘qualifying foundation’?
• What are the two methods of donation employee stock options?
• What is the lifetime exemption on capital gains for Qualifying Small Business Corporations?
• How can flow through limited partnerships be used to improve the tax-efficiency of charitable donations?
• What options are available for private business owners to donate tax efficiently?
