Do I need a receipt for income tax purposes?

No. Property tax receipts are typically requested only when Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) specifically requires proof.

To claim your property tax credit, you will need to report the amount of property taxes paid for the year on your income tax return. If your taxes are up to date, the amount paid for the year should be listed on your final tax bill under the section Final Levies.
