What is the purpose of businesses requesting invoices from Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status organizations when making cash gifts? Are these invoices primarily for tax purposes, and can businesses specifically ask DGRs for invoices to document their gift contributions? Additionally, is there official documentation available regarding this process, and can DGRs issue tax-deductible receipts for these contributions?
Hey @MichD,
Do you mean they're requesting a receipt when they donate?
A DGR recipient doesn't have to issue a receipt but generally most do. This is so that whoever has made the donation has a record for when it comes to lodging their tax return. As they'll more than likely claim it as a deduction.

Hi Anita,
Thank you for your prompt response. In fact, the donor is requesting a Tax Invoice when making the donation. Although the organization issued a payment request, they specifically requested the inclusion of the term "Tax Invoice" on the document. Could you please confirm if this aligns with the required policy?
