How much will my tax receipt be?

There are many factors that go into determining this amount. For more details, please contact us at donations@omhs.ca

My car hasn't run in years. Can I still donate it?

Yes, we can accept non-running vehicles

What if my vehicle is not registered?

Legal proof of ownership is required. Current or expired registration, a Bill of Sale, or a ‘proof of last vehicle registration’ letter from your local registry is acceptable.

What if I do not have insurance?

If your vehicle is being recycled, you no longer require insurance on the vehicle once it has been picked up by the towing agent. If your vehicle is going to auction, we suggest that you keep insurance on your vehicle until the vehicle has sold. You will be notified by email when your vehicle has been sold.

Do I have to pay for my vehicle to be towed?

You do not have to pay for your vehicle to be towed. If the vehicle is recycled, the towing cost is included. If your vehicle is sent to the auction, the towing cost is deducted from the sale price of your vehicle.

Is my donation tax deductible?

Yes, you will receive a tax receipt from OMHS.

When will I receive my tax receipt?

After the sale of your vehicle and our accounting process is complete, we will send you an email confirming your donation has been sent to the charity. You should then receive your tax receipt within 4-6 weeks of the charity receiving your donation.
