Section 7 expenses require detailed receipts, invoices, and supporting documentation for claims

To successfully claim Section 7 expenses in Canada, you must maintain comprehensive documentation of all eligible costs. Required documentation includes:

  • Original, itemized receipts showing payment details
  • Official invoices with service provider information
  • Proof of payment (cancelled cheques, e-transfer confirmations)
  • Documentation showing the child’s enrollment or participation
  • Medical or professional recommendations (if applicable)

Keep all records organized by expense category and date for a minimum of six years after filing. This documentation ensures proper reimbursement and provides essential evidence for tax purposes or legal proceedings. Digital copies are acceptable, but maintain original documents whenever possible.
