Tax Receipts
We automatically provides receipts for gifts of $10 or more or if requested.
Once we receive your donation, it takes up to 15 business days for us to issue your receipt and mail it to you. At peak times, like Christmas, it may take as long as three to six weeks for us to mail out your tax receipt.
Yes we can; however, it is much more efficient to complete your donation online if you’d like to receive your tax receipt in that manner.
We’d be happy to provide a replacement within 15 days of your request. Please contact us at accounting@lighthousemission.ca for assistance.
Tax receipts for monthly donations will be issued no later than the end of February of the following year.
If you have not received your tax receipt by the middle of March, you have moved, or you have misplaced the receipt and need a replacement, a duplicate tax receipt can be issued by contacting us at accounting@lighthousemission.ca.
As per Canada Revenue Agency rules, we cannot provide an official tax receipt for gifts of service. However, a gift of service may be eligible for receipting through a cheque exchange. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us at accounting@lighthousemission.ca if you have questions.
As per Canada Revenue Agency rules, an official tax receipt is provided when the donor receives no benefit for the gift. A tax receipt may be provided for the difference between the gift and the value of the benefit received.
If the product/property is something we deems as necessary, the gift may be receipted. Some gifts may require a valuation to determine the value of the tax receipt. Please contact us at accounting@lighthousemission.ca if you have questions.
