Top of PageQ: Who issues the donation receipt? How do I get the income tax benefits if I get my donation certified as an ecogift?
The recipient issues the donation receipt. The donor enters the eligible amount of the gift of the donation from the receipt (or a portion of the value that they wish to use if spreading the donation over multiple years) on the appropriate line of his or her income tax return. He or she then submits the return with the donation receipt and the Certificate of Ecologically Sensitive Land, Recipient Identification, Registered Charity and Statement of Fair Market Value of an Ecological Gift as issued by Environment Canada.
