In accordance with Canada Revenue Agency guidelines, the fair market value of the benefits (meals, access to the event) is deducted from the amount of the donation. The cost of this event is $40 per person. So, for the purchase of 2 tickets, for example, an amount of $80 (2 x $40) will be deducted from the receipt.
