Changes to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)

Changes to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)

Posted Nov 10th, 2023 in Philanthropy

With the help of NCF, you can take advantage of 2023 tax rates on appreciated securities, and decide later what charities you want to support.

If you have appreciated securities there are big changes coming in January 2024, that will make donating them to a registered charity less favourable for the donor.

Effective January 1, 2024, the calculation of the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) for Individual taxpayers will include 100% of capital gains on donations of publicly traded securities up from the current 50%. Also, only 50% of the donation tax credit will be deducted in calculating AMT, down from the current 100%.

We can help.

Our sister community foundation, Oakville Community Foundation and PearTree have put together a thorough session examining the AMT and what it will mean for donors. It’s a great place to start if you’re looking to really understand the finer tax implications that will soon be in effect.
