Documents
Subsplash will need to collect the organization’s full SIN, BN/Registration number, and proof of the organization’s status as a charity registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in the form of a document or URL.
Linking a Depository Bank Account
When linking your bank to the Subsplash Dashboard in Step 4 of the Welcome page, follow these directions:
The routing number field will be a combination of a leading zero, the three-digit financial institution number, and the five-digit transit number. This information can be found in a checkbook, on the bank’s website, or by calling your bank.
Routing number format: 0YYYXXXXX
0 = leading zero
YYY = institution number
XXXXX = branch transit number
The Business Tax ID (Business Number) field will consist of the first nine digits of the 15-digit Program Account Number assigned by the Canada Revenue Agency. The CRA considers your Business Number the business tax ID number. Subsplash Giving only needs the Business Number!
Program account number format: 123456789XY4444
123456789 = the nine-digit Business Number (Tax ID)
XY = a two-letter identifier for the program type
4444 = a four-digit reference number for the program account.
Remember, Subsplash Giving only needs the first nine digits of the BN, no spaces, and no dashes.
Tax Receipts
Subsplash created its tax receipts using an example from the CRA website, while combining an actual receipt shared by a Canadian client. All end-of-year Canadian tax receipts will include, as per Canada Revenue Agency requirements:
a statement that it is an official receipt for income tax purposes
the name and address of the charity as on file with the CRA
a unique serial number
the registration number issued by the CRA
the location where the receipt was issued (city, town, municipality)
the date or year the gift was received

the full name, including middle initial, and address of the donor
the amount of the gift
