THE NEW CORPORATE TAX CREDIT: A NEW COST-FREE WAY TO HELP<br />
The Arizona Legislature has enacted into law a provision that grants a tax<br />
credit to corporations for contributions to organizations like the Catholic Tuition<br />
Organization <strong>of</strong> the Diocese <strong>of</strong> Phoenix (CTODP). This is a credit, not simply a<br />
deduction. There is no maximum amount that a corporation can contribute, but the<br />
state program was capped at $10 million for fiscal year 2006-2007. Each year, for the<br />
five years <strong>of</strong> the program, the cap will increase by 20% until fiscal year 2010-2011,<br />
when it will reach nearly $21 million! A corporation may carry any unused tax credit<br />
forward for five years.<br />
If you, or someone you know, is a decision maker at a corporation<br />
willing to help families desiring a choice in education for their children,<br />
contact the school's Development Office at 602-251-2508.<br />
"A corporation may obtain<br />
a dollar-for-dollar tax<br />
credit for its contribution<br />
up to the amount <strong>of</strong> its<br />
Arizona state income tax<br />
liability."<br />
The 2007/2008 school year is the first year funding from this source was available to people filing CTODP<br />
financial aid applications. Under the corporate tax credit law, CTODP may make grants from corporate<br />
contributions only to students transferring to a Catholic school from a public school. CTODP has allocated more<br />
than $137,000 to our families from this new source <strong>of</strong> financial aid.<br />
CTODP GREATLY BENEFITS SAINT MARY'S – PLEASE SUPPORT CTODP<br />
CTODP is the largest single support for the <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Mary's</strong> financial aid program. For the 2007/2008 school<br />
year, through the generosity <strong>of</strong> individual donors, CTODP has made more than one million dollars available to our<br />
families, helping more than 400 students. This is an increase <strong>of</strong> more than $150,000 from the prior year. We thank<br />
everyone who has supported CTODP, especially those who have designated <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Mary's</strong> as the school to benefit<br />
from your generosity.<br />
For the 2007 calendar year, the maximum credit for married couples will be $1,000, and for single<br />
taxpayers the maximum credit will be $500. A contribution to CTODP is one <strong>of</strong> the best “investments” you can<br />
make. You can receive a dollar for dollar tax credit when you file your Arizona income tax return and also claim a<br />
deduction on your federal income tax return. So, it costs you nothing to participate. You can actually make money<br />
through this program.<br />
