I told one person that if u have accumulated riba then give this money like into a fine for example if u got a parking ticket then can a person pay riba money towards that ticket? Did i advise him wrong he knows riba is wrong but i thought is that way fine to get rid of riba money? If im wrong what shud i tell him now?

If i keep money in saving account in Canada i won’t have to pay tax to the goverment, but if i keep in current account then every year there is a annual tax on the amount. If i take the interest from saving account and donate it without using any of the interest for myself, is there any sin on that? what’s your advice?
