Fiscal and Financial Planning Guide 2024-2025
General > Digital news subscriptions
At the federal level, a tax credit may be claimed in respect of digital news subscriptions to a Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization (QCJO). Generally speaking, it is a digital newspaper that publishes original news.
If your subscription qualifies for the credit, a QCJO number will appear on your receipt.
Organizations that also provide broadcasting services or print content are not eligible.
Note that some digital newspapers have been granted a charitable organization status (e.g.: La Presse) and that your contributions may instead qualify for a charitable donations tax credit that is more generous than the previous credit.
