Give gifts of stocks or bonds that have increased in value and don't pay capital gains! When you sell securities, you pay 50% tax on the gain. When you donate securities, you pay 0% capital gains tax AND receive a tax credit for 100% of the current market value. It is easy to arrange, your broker can transfer directly to our trading account.

To find out more about giving gifts of securities and the tax advantages of donating, contact Lisa Westermark, Executive Director, at 604-244-5205 or lisa.westermark@vch.ca.
