(Québec) This year, taxpayers will be able to take advantage of a new credit: Capital régional et coopératif Desjardins. You are eligible to claim this credit if you purchased shares in the Capital régional et coopératif Desjardins in 2001. The maximum eligible credit is $1,250 (50% of $2,500) and the minimum period of disposition for the shares is 7 years, except in special circumstances. Be sure to claim this credit the year in which your shares were acquired because unused credits cannot be carried forward. Also, these shares cannot be transfered to an RRSP.
