Canada Revenue Agency provides sample tax receipts for Canadian Charities

November 15, 2005

Over the last few years there have been a number of changes to the information that charities are to provide in their official donation receipts.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has provided 4 sample donation receipts depending on whether the donation is a cash or inkind donation and depending on whether an advantage was received by the donor, or not.

You can see the sample Canadian charitable donation receipts at:

It is important that all Canadian charities include all the required information on their official donation receipts or else the charity can receive a penalty from the Canada Revenue Agency.
