Annual tax receipts
Generate a member's annual tax receipt, email it, and track giving per person.
At year-end, each member can receive an annual tax receipt summarising their gifts. Sanctumel generates it with the church header, the pastor's signature and a verification QR code — and can email it directly.
Note: the receipt is a single document: the one the church prints and the one the member receives by email are identical, produced by the same engine. A legal document cannot exist in two versions.
Generate a receipt
- Open Finance → Reports → Tax receipt.
- Choose the member and the year.
- Click Print receipt: the PDF opens, ready to print or download.
The receipt shows the gross amount of the member's gifts (their full gift) — that is what is tax-deductible. Refunded gifts are automatically deducted, with an "Of which refunded" line.
Warning: the deduction rate depends on the country and your organisation's status. Sanctumel shows a safe generic mention ("under your country's law"); validate any specific rate with a tax adviser before displaying it.
Send by email
The Email to member button sends the certified PDF as an attachment, to the member's address, in the church's language. No more printing and handing over in person. Every send appears in Members → Communications (email log).
Giving per member
The Giving by member card (on the dashboard) shows each person's generosity over the period: tithes, offerings, donations, pledges, with the total. You can:
- filter by gift type;
- export the summary as a numbered PDF;
- generate a member's annual statement in one click.
The pastor's signature
The signature used is the one set in the Documents module (letterhead). It appears to the left of the verification QR. The QR lets any authority verify the receipt's authenticity by scanning it.
