RECEIPTS

Campaign Update: Clarifying Contribution Receipts

July 14th 2026

​

It has been brought to our campaign’s attention that some of our earlier materials referenced campaign contributions as being eligible for a “tax receipt.”

We want to correct and clarify this immediately.

Under Ontario municipal election rules, contributions to a municipal campaign are not tax deductible. While our campaign provides contribution receipts for all donations received (cash or otherwise), these are issued for record-keeping and compliance purposes only—they are not tax receipts and cannot be claimed for income tax purposes.

For full transparency:

  • Contributions over $25 must be made through traceable methods (e.g., cheque or money order)

  • Contributions over $100 are recorded in the public financial statement

  • Eligible Brampton donors may contribute up to $1,200 per candidate and no more than $5,000 total to all candidates on council

We take accountability seriously and have updated our materials to reflect this clarification.

​

Thank you for your continued support and for holding us to a high standard.
