I seems that at various businesses there is some cause which it wants to support — using customers’ money. Would this not be a huge tax deduction for such businesses that obtain on our toonie and then, the self- congratulatory ads as to how much the business donated to the community soccer team or other cause? This, when parents have been doing bottle drives and car washes year round. Entertainers brag about how much they donated to a specific charity but was it really from their own pockets or the pockets of those they entertained and thus taking credit? Your thoughts? Do you donate at your supermarket, liquor store, department store, etc.? |

We never have enough deductions to cover the Standard Deduction, so charitable deductions become worthless for tax purposes. |
