If I am the successful bidder on an auction item,
will I receive a charitable tax receipt?
If an auction item is purchased, a charitable tax receipt is issued for the portion above and beyond the value received by you. For example, you have paid $2,100 for an autographed guitar, the fair market value of the guitar is $1,100. The eligible amount of the receipt is $1,000. This rule is established by Canada Revenue Agency.
