If I am the successful bidder of a Live or Online Auction, will I receive a charitable tax receipt?
Yes. Tax receipts are issued for the amount paid above the item’s Fair Market Value (FMV). For example, if you pay $2,100 for a guitar valued at $1,100, you’ll receive a receipt for $1,000. This follows Canada Revenue Agency guidelines.
