Non-qualifying security

A non-qualifying security is, generally, a security where the owner of the security (e.g. a shareholder) is not at arm's length with the issuer of the security (e.g. a private company).  A charity can issue a tax receipt to the donor of a non-qualifying security in some circumstances.  The charity should get professional (legal, accounting or tax) help when someone intends to make this kind of gift.
