Donation Tax Credit Canada
April 4th, 2008
Question: Is it possible to transfer a gift receipt for tax purposes in Canada?
Last Christmas I decided that rather than giving my family things they didn’t want or need I would give a donation in their honour to some very worthy charities. However, all the tax receipts were made out in my name because it was my credit card used. Is it possible according to Canadian tax laws to transfer these receipts to my family who actually received them as gifts? I have no use for them because my income bracket isn’t high enough for me to pay taxes (I’m a student.)
Thanks for your help!
Answer: Donations with your name on can be used either by you or by your spouse or common-law partner. They cannot be transferred to any other person.
Contact the charity and see if they will re-issue the receipts in the names you specify.
