What I meant was, even if I have no official tax receipt, can I still make a claim? I only have my own receipts that I was given when I made a donation but these are not official tax receipts. The church I donate to has given me an official receipt in the past but for some reason, they did not give me one this year.

Yes I understood what you meant. I in return have mentioned that you can claim it and when you return to church ask them for an official receipt for your records, in case Cra ever asks you for proof.

That makes more sense now Martine. Thank you for your explanation.

Your quite welcome. Have a fabulous day!
