Moral persons, such as companies, corporations and unions can at no time contribute to the coffers of parties, independent Members or authorized independent candidates. Each time you donate money, render services or furnish goods free of charge to a party, riding association, independent Member or candidate, you are making a contribution. Several exceptions, however, have been provided for in the Act. The official representative or the persons designated in writing by this representative for this purpose are the only persons who may receive your contributions. It is their duty to provide you with a receipt for any contribution you make. You can deduct from your income tax payable to Revenu Québec an amount equal to 75 % of the first $400 of your contribution, for a maximum tax credit of $300 per year. During any one calendar year, you may not contribute more than $3,000 to each of the parties, independent Members or authorized independent candidates. You may make your contribution in cash, if the amount is $200 or less. Contributions of money exceeding $200 must be made by means of a personal cheque or another payment order signed by the elector. Such a contribution can also be made, in accordance with the guidelines of the Chief Electoral Officer, by means of a credit card or a transfer of funds.
