Federal Government Extends Charitable Donation Tax Deduction Deadline to February 2025


In response to the recent Canada Post strike, the federal government has announced an extension for the deadline to claim charitable donations on tax returns. Originally set for December 31, 2024, the new deadline is now February 28, 2025.

Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc stated that this extension aims to mitigate the impact of the strike, which significantly disrupted mail-in donations during the crucial holiday season. Charities, such as the Salvation Army, reported a drop in donations by over 50% due to the strike.
