MS Crop 09′ – Charitable Tax Receipts Question…

Hello,

A couple of people have emailed me recently asking about charitable tax receipts. Unfortunately going forward we can not issue these for for crop fees paid. MS Society of Canada has let me know that according to the CRA charitable tax receipts can not be issued if you have received anything in return. This “anything” can be a seat at the crop, food, goody bags, door prizes etc…. We were not made aware of this last year and that is why we able to have the MS Society issue these. The MS Society and CRA have made it clear that a charitable tax receipt is only issued when a donation of money has been made and nothing received. I have also been advised that no other (scrapbook) charity event gives out tax receipts to attendees (this applies to dances and other events hosted to raise money for charity). I hope you all understand and I apologize for any confusion.

Sincerely,

Charlene
