ASSUMPTIONS — 2026 tax year. The federal political contribution tax credit is 75% of the first $400, 50% of the next $350 and 33⅓% of the next $525, reaching the maximum credit of $650 at a contribution of $1,275. This covers federal contributions only — provincial political contributions have separate credits. The credit is non-refundable, so it can only reduce federal tax you owe.
