Please note, under Elections Canada’s guideline OGI 2019-02:
An individual can donate a monetary value up to a max of $1,600.
A monetary contribution is an amount of money provided that is not repayable. Monetary contributions include cash, cheques, money orders, credit card or debit card payments, and online payments (other than contributions of cryptocurrency).
Only individuals who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada can make a contribution to a registered party, a registered association, a candidate, a leadership contestant or a nomination contestant. Note: Corporations, trade unions, associations and groups cannot make contributions.
A receipt has to be issued for each monetary contribution over $20 or non-monetary contribution over $20 that is not deemed nil. Only the official agent can provide official receipts for contributions, including tax receipts.
Tax receipts can be issued only for monetary contributions received within a specified period. The period starts on the day the candidate’s nomination is confirmed by the returning officer. It ends on the day that is one month after election day. Under Canada Revenue Agency rules, contributions received after election day must have been in transit on election day to be eligible for a tax receipt (see their information circular IC75-2R9).
Tax receipts have to be issued on prescribed forms, either paper or electronic.
Paper tax receipts are available from Elections Canada. It is important to keep in mind that if the official agent requests paper tax receipts, these must all be returned (copies of used pages, plus unused and cancelled receipts) to Elections Canada no later than one month after election day.
Alternatively, the official agent may use Elections Canada’s Electronic Financial Return (EFR) software to issue all receipts. It is easy to use and makes paper tax receipts from Elections Canada unnecessary. EFR is free and can be accessed from the Elections Canada website.
