How can I get a tax receipt after donating?
A tax receipt is a document issued in the recipient nonprofit's name, separate from a payment receipt. It may allow you to claim tax relief, depending on the rules that apply to you and the nonprofit. CotizUp may automate its preparation, but the nonprofit remains responsible for issuing it.
After your donation
- Make a donation to a nonprofit that is authorised to issue tax receipts. To qualify for tax relief, your payment must in particular be a donation with no substantial direct or indirect benefit in return.
- Complete your personal information, including your address, in your account. This information is needed for the nonprofit to issue your tax receipt.
- When your receipt is available, open My donations, then the relevant donation details to download it.
Keep your tax receipt: you do not usually need to attach it to your tax return, but the tax authority may ask you to provide it. If your receipt is not available, contact the recipient nonprofit.
