Throw away your receipts! (After you scan them).The CRA explicitly accepts digital receipts as proof
In this short advisory reel, Zircon‑monsoon warns that keeping physical thermal receipts is risky because they fade to blank paper within a couple of years, which the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will not accept as proof during an audit. To avoid this nightmare, the speaker recommends a simple workflow: collect all receipts in a bucket throughout each month, then at month‑end use a phone to photograph every receipt, upload the images to a Google Drive folder named for the month (e.g., "January 2025"), and keep the digital copies organized. The CRA explicitly accepts digital receipts as valid documentation, so once scanned and stored, the physical copies can be discarded. The reel ends with a call to like if the tip helped.
