Temporary / Official Tax Receipt formats and requirements

The Running Room can issue two types of receipts - Temporary or Official Tax Receipts.

Temporary Tax Receipts: Confirms that the donation was successful and informs the donor that an Official Tax Receipt will be issued by your charity (ie. The War Amps) at a later date.  Please note: The donor MUST be issued an Official Tax Receipt for the full amount of the donation which includes the 5% processing fee.

Temporary tax receipts are ideal for charities who:

  • Do not provide official receipts for donations below a certain amount.
  • Have an internal receipt sequence or format or sequence that they need to comply to.
