  • 1.  Sales receipt for golf outing

    Posted 2 days ago

    We recently hosted our annual athletics golf outing. Of course, charitable receipts were issued to the sponsors, however, a golfer is now requesting a receipt for his foursome - I believe he paid for his colleagues to golf as a group and he's seeking reimbursement from his employer. 

    My colleague who has been in communication with this golfer did some of his own research and believes that we can issue a receipt if we subtract the FMV of the greens fees, meals, and giveaway. Is this correct? Is there anything else we need to be aware of and can we indeed issue this receipt?

    If they are needing this to get the employer to pay them back for all costs, how is there a charitable donation? Claiming a deduction and then getting paid back seems to negate any deduction.

    The other worry I have is why should an employee be reimbursed for benefits they provided to others? I guess it is possible the others were also employees of the same company but this all feels highly irregular.

    One resolution would be to ask the company to pay you directly for all four participants. The company would get the desictionnfor the net donation. Upon receipt of the company check you refund the entire payment from the original donor and request they destroy the original receipt.

    That unrecognizable word should be "deduction" ��
