How do I access my registration receipt for income tax purposes?
To locate your receipt, login to your RAMP account, go to "My Registrations" on the left hand side of your account dashboard and locate the registration you want a receipt for. Under the "Manage" button on the right is a green "Receipt" link. This will open in a webpage without an option to download it. Unfortunately, it is a long receipt with all registration details but this is how you access your registration receipt.
