After nearly 40 years in the political wilderness, Oshawa is back on the political map. Re-elected in January 2006 and 2008, Colin Carrie is providing Oshawa a strong voice in Canada's Conservative government.

Once again, we need your help Keep Oshawa Blue. To re-elect Colin we need your moral and financial support today.

Tax credits for political donations are very generous. So generous, in fact, that you'll receive a tax receipt for 75% of the value of your contribution up to $400 (see chart for details). After $400, a diminishing criteria applies.

So, if you decide to donate $400, your tax receiptable portion is $300, resulting in an actual cost of only $100. Better yet, a contribution of $1,000 costs you only $441.67.

Changes to federal election financing (as of January 1, 2007)

The recently-proclaimed Federal Accountability Act introduced major changes regarding federal electoral financing. To review the rule changes, please click here.

Only citizens and permanent residents of Canada can make political donations to registered parties, registered electoral district associations, candidates, nomination contestants and leadership contestants.

Corporations, trade unions and unincorporated associations may no longer make political donations to candidates, registered electoral district associations or nomination contestants of registered parties.

The existing prohibition on donations from these organizations to registered parties and leadership contestants of registered parties remains.

Contribution limits for individuals

Only individuals who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents may make contributions to registered parties, their registered electoral district associations, leadership and nomination contestants, or to any candidate in one calendar year. The new contribution limits for 2007 are:

• no more than $1,100 in any calendar year to each registered political party;

• no more than $1,100 in total in any calendar year to the various entities of each registered political party (registered associations, nomination contestants and candidates);

• no more than $1,100 to each independent candidate for a particular election; and,

• no more than $1,100 in total to the leadership contestants in a particular leadership contest.

Note: No individual may make a cash contribution in an amount that exceeds $20.

Tax receipts

We are required by law to provide you with a tax receipt prior to March 31 of the subsequent contribution year. Our association processes tax receipts once every calendar year, usually in the January/February timeframe.
