Third Party Event Tax Receipting Information

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has strict guidelines governing when and how charities can provide tax receipts. Issuing an inappropriate tax receipt can put our charitable status at risk. Please check with us before promising a tax receipt to ensure that we will be able to provide one.

Third Party Events

  • Due to the complexity of the documentation required by CRA, receipts at a third party event will only be issued for donations made directly to Interval House, where there is no participant registration fee, and no benefit to the individual from the event. (i.e. silent auction items, golf fees, handouts).
  • Interval House will only issue tax receipts for the amount of the actual donations received. Tax receipts cannot be issued for funds used to cover the costs of the event or other administrative expenses incurred by the event organizer.
  • Net funds raised from the third party event must be submitted to Interval House no later than 30 days after the event. At this time, donor information for those requiring and eligible for tax receipts must be submitted.

Interval House will issue tax receipts in accordance with CRA guidelines.

  • Only straight donations where the donor receives no benefit can receive tax receipts.
  • Purchase of goods, raffle tickets, admission tickets, green fees, auction items and other goods that provide a benefit to donors are not eligible for a tax receipt from Interval House.
  • A tax receipt cannot be issued for gifts of services (ex. donated time, labour).
  • A tax receipt cannot be issued to event sponsors. If requested, sponsors can receive a letter of acknowledgement for the value of their sponsorship which they can use against their business expenses.
  • A tax receipt may be issued for gift-in-kind donations to silent auctions provided the event organizer can provide reasonable support of the current fair market value of the goods (ex. purchase receipt, invoice or appraisal).

If donations are being collected at your event, please contact Ashleigh Saith for details on how to track information in order for donors to receive tax receipts. We can provide you with donation forms and/or a tracking sheet.

Tax receipts will be issued by Interval House for donations in the following circumstances:

  • The monetary gift is $15 or more.
  • Cheques are made payable directly to “Interval House”.
  • Complete and legible mailing information is provided.
