POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION TAX CREDIT - BRITISH COLUMBIA

You can claim contributions you or your spouse made in the year to political parties or constituency associations registered in British Columbia, or to candidates in an election to the British Columbia legislature.

To claim the amount in the program, please follow these steps:

1- On the "Left side menu of the Interview tab", click on "British Columbia tax credits".

2- On the right-hand side of the screen, go to the "BC428" group, click on the plus "+" icon to the right of the line "BC428 line 60400 - British Columbia political contributions tax credit", then click "Next" at the bottom of the page.

3- On the new page, enter the amount of contributions in the field "Provincial eligible political contributions", then click "Next".

The program will calculate the amount for the British Columbia Political Contribution Tax Credit, based on your total provincial contributions, and report it to line 60400 of the form BC428 - British Columbia Tax.

If your total political contributions are more than $1,150, the credit will be $500 (maximum amount). If not, it will be calculated on line 77 of the BC Provincial worksheet from the left side menu, under the "Tax Return" tab.
