Help for Charities

If you issue a Tax Receipt with any mistakes or wrong information on it, you can easily cancel it and reissue a corrected Tax Receipt through the DMS.

Important: Please follow the instructions below to ensure that you remain compliant with the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) when correcting a Tax Receipt.

Issuing a corrected Tax Receipt

1. To maintain compliance with the CRA, first cancel the incorrect Tax Receipt. You will need to keep a copy of the cancelled Tax Receipt for your records

2. Add a new Contribution, making sure that all of the Contribution details are correct. You can modify any incorrect Contact information before issuing a corrected Tax Receipt

3. Issue a Tax Receipt for the corrected Contribution.

Reporting and Double Counting

The DMS prevents any wrong Receipt and Contribution from being double-counted on your Reports:

• Contributions that have their Status as Cancelled will be filtered out from your Reports.
• You can also filter them manually by Contribution Status.
