What Is An Ecological Gift and its tax benefits?
Ecological gift: An Ecological Gift (or “Ecogift”) is a donation of land or a conservation agreement under the federal tax program of the same name. The land donated as an Ecogift must be considered ecologically sensitive under diverse criteria by Environment Canada.
An Ecogift allows donors to claim their charitable credits against 100% of income in the year the gift is made. Unused credits can be carried forward and used over a further five years.
Recent changes by the federal government mean that an Ecogift designation now also eliminates capital gains tax.
