GIFTS-IN-KIND
Donating a car in Canada is considered to be a charitable contribution of depreciable property, which is a type of gift in kind. That being said, a deduction made for your car donation will be subject to the appropriate deduction procedure.
No matter what the value of your deduction is, be sure to get a tax receipt which clearly lists the name of charitable organization, donation date, model and year of the donated vehicle, donor’s name, appraisal information, appropriate signature, as well as the charity’s registration number. Also take note that there is a time frame in which the receipt must be sent. Your tax receipt should be sent within 4 to 6 weeks of the time of sale of your donated vehicle.
