Is a Gift eligible for a receipt?
Before issuing a tax receipt, we must determine if the NSS Foundation has truly received a gift according to the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA's) definition. A gift must be:
· voluntary, and
· a transfer of property (for example, cash, stocks, real estate, clothing).
To be eligible for a tax receipt, a gift must also:
· be able to be valued; and
· enrich the charity (that is, the gift must be the result of an intention to make a donation).
If the donor receives something in return for their gift (known as an "advantage" by CRA), we may or may not be able to issue a receipt for part of the gift (known as the eligible amount of the gift).
Rules for split receipting
Split receipting arises when a charity provides some value to a donor (an advantage) in recognition of, or in return for, their gift. The general principle is that a receipt can be issued for the value of the gift less the value of the advantage.
Situations in which a donor might receive an advantage include:
· fundraising events, including dinners or cocktails;
· silent or live auctions;
· concerts, shows, or sporting events (for example, golf tournaments); and
· membership fees paid to a charity.
Before we can issue a tax receipt for a gift or part of a gift, we must
· be satisfied that the donor really intended to make a gift (as opposed to simply obtaining the advantage); that is, that the donor intended to enrich the charity, and
· be able to determine the values of both the gift and the advantage. See Valuing Gifts and Advantages for details on this.
