Gift of Securities
A Gift of Securities
Increasingly, our donors are taking advantage of the tax incentives announced in May 2006 on donating publicly traded securities to registered charities or foundations.
If you have publicly traded shares in your portfolio that would generate a substantial taxable gain if you sold, you can consider donating some of those shares to make your next donation. You will get a tax receipt for the full market value of the shares and there will be no tax to pay on the disposition of the shares.
The key to executing this tax strategy successfully is to make sure you “gift” the securities to a charity or foundation, don’t sell them and donate the cash.
