Charitable Donations Extension | February 28th, 2025

January 28, 2025

Recently the Government of Canada announced plans to amend the Income Tax Act - this amendment will extend the deadline for tax-deductible donations for the 2024 tax year to February 28, 2025.

This change aims to help donors affected by the four-week Canada Post mail stoppage, ensuring their contributions are processed in time and supporting charities in providing essential services to their communities.
