Publicly traded securities, such as stocks, income trust units, bonds, mutual fund units and shares offer an advantage in making a major reduction to your taxable income.
Is gifting publicly traded securities right for me?
By gifting the stock directly to DUC, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive a tax credit for the donation.
