Viterra a success

Three reasons why long-term couples should celebrate Valentine’s Day

Those who think that Valentine’s Day is just for new couples are definitely mis- taken. People in long-term relation- ships have just as much to gain from a day dedicated to celebrating their love. Valentine’s Day is meant for all couples, old and new.

1. To shake things up Long-time couples tend to fall into a routine, returning to the same spots over and over or simply staying home most of the time. Dare to be different. Step out of your comfort zone and dis- cover what your region has to offer. A little novelty is never a bad thing!

2. To nurture your bond When is the last time you told your significant other how he or she makes you feel? Take advantage of Valentine’s Day to express just how much you 3. To rekindle the flame appreciate your sweetheart. Remember As the years go by, those secret looks, — it’s the little things that make rela- winks, cuddles, kis ses, massages and tionships last.

Charitable giving and taxes Many people donate to nonprofit organizations and other philanthrop- ic groups out of a personal desire to do good for others. Such charitable giving can improve the lives of others and may make donors eligible for tax deductions. Canadian individuals and businesses generally can claim deductions and gifts of up to 75 percent of net income. In the United States, the IRS states one generally may deduct up to 50 percent of adjusted gross income, but 20 percent and 30 percent limitations apply in some cases. Giving can constitute cash and non-cash donations, advises the charity watchdog organization Charity Navigator. For example, deductions for donations of clothing and household items that are in “good condition or better” may qualify donors for tax deductions. Donors are advised to bring items to reputable charities that will issue a receipt for their value. An appraisal may be requested for more expensive items. All donations require a paper trail and proof of charitable contribution. The Government of Canada states that official donation receipts from registered charities and other qualified organizations should be kept in a A tax treaty between the United States and Canada allows for some de- safe place.
