Changes in tax rules in Canada,
in effect until 2001, have made
it even more beneficial to
donate securities to St. John’s
College UBC. To date St. John’s
College has received significant
gifts of property and shares and
is tremendously grateful. The
new rules significantly reduce
the amount of capital gains tax
on donations of publicly listed
appreciated securities. The
income inclusion rate on
capital gains, when applied to
charitable gifts is cut in half,
dropping from 75 per cent to
37.5 percent. The same holds
true for stocks. If you wish to
donate stocks which have
appreciated in value, donating
the stocks will allow for signifi-
cant tax savings.

Charitable Remainder Trust 1s
another way to give and to see
the benefits of your donation
realized immediately while
still receiving an annual
income for the contribution.
The Charitable Remainder
Trust is a life-income plan,
created by the donor which
irrevocably transfers assets to

a trust which pays the donor a
fixed dollar amount annually
for life (the amount is set and
determined by the age of the
donor). In addition, the donor
will receive a tax receipt (the
amount is determined by a
number of pre set factors).

At the time of the transfer, the
trust principal becomes the
property of the recipient.

The benefits of a Charitable
Remainder Trust are that the
donor will receive an income
