Filed your return? Don’t toss those receipts yet.
The CRA can ask you to back up a deduction years later. No proof = deduction denied, tax owed, plus interest back to day one.
The rule: six years from the end of the tax year — not the date on the receipt. File 2026 on time, keep them until end of 2032.
No shoebox needed. A clear scan in the cloud counts — smart, since thermal receipts fade to blank fast.
General information only — not personal tax advice.
DM “RECEIPTS” for a simple setup.
