The Department of Finance released draft legislation to amend the Income Tax Act to extend the deadline for making donations eligible for tax support in the 2024 tax year to February 28, 2025. When you donate before the new deadline in 2025, you have the option to claim it on your 2024 or 2025 tax return.
