Charitable Donation Tax Credit

Donations to UHE qualify for the charitable donation tax credit. The basic credit is 20.06%, which means that you can make an impact worth $40 while only spending $32.

If you donate larger amounts to charity this year, you can qualify for a higher credit. For most British Columbians, additional charitable donations made above $200 in a year receive a 43.7% tax credit, meaning that you may get almost half of it back!

Check the Canada Revenue Agency's page on charitable donation tax credit rates or use their simple tax credit calculator to see how much of your donation you can get back.
