In Arthur v. The Queen, 2015 TCC 43, Juliet Arthur was appealing a reassessment made by CRA relating to two receipts. The case provides a good summary of the cases dealing with lack of appropriate documentation for donations – especially when they are either cash or gifts in kind. The TCC dismissed the appeal with “Considering the evidence as a whole, I conclude that the appellant has not shown on a balance of probabilities that she made a charitable donation in the total amount of $3,529 to Emilia in 2006, even though a receipt was provided which purported to show that she had done so.”
