Guidelines for Receipting

• United Way of Halifax Region receipts all cash, cheque and credit card donations. There is no minimum dollar requirement to receive an Income Tax Receipt.
• If giving by payroll deduction, the donation amount is recorded on the employees T4 slip in Box 46 . This is all that is required for Income Tax purposes.
• Receipts are sent out continuously. Once United Way of Halifax Region has received the donation (cash, cheque, or credit card) there is a two week turnaround for receipts to be issued and mailed (based on volumes of donors).
