刚刚通过加拿大红十字会捐了款,才看到2楼的帖子,有道理。
捐款人最希望的当然是专款专用。
翻阅了一下Canadian Red Cross的网页和年度财报,觉得也还可以。如果用他们的 “Donate Online” ,在Fund Designation 下拉菜单处,注意要选择 "China Earthquake"。
另外关于Donation Tax Credit,下面的信息供大家参考。
The donation tax credit gives a return equivalent to the lowest marginal tax rate (in your province) x $200 on the first $200 that you donate, and the highest marginal tax rate tax credit on the remainder. Below is a table of the lowest and highest marginal tax rate for
2007 by province/territory:
Province Low High
Alberta 25.5% 39.00%
British Columbia 21.20% 43.70%
Manitoba 26.40% 46.40%
New Brunswick 25.18% 46.84%
NF & LAB 26.07% 48.64%
Northwest Terr. 21.40% 43.05%
Nova Scotia 24.29% 48.25%
Nunavut 19.50% 40.50%
Ontario 21.55% 46.41%
PEI 25.30% 47.37%
Quebec 28.94% 48.22%
Saskatchewan 26.50% 44.00%
Yukon 22.54% 42.40%
For example, if a resident
in Ontario donates to charity in 2007, the
lowest marginal tax rate would be 21.55% and the
highest marginal tax rate would be 46.41% (
taxtips.ca). If he donated $500 to charity that year, he would receive ($200 x 21.55%) + ($300 x 46.41%) = $182.33 as a tax credit for that year.
考虑到这些CREDIT, 咱们不是可以再给灾区多捐点儿吗?!
