I provide computer generated receipts upon payment for CASH as paid - so weekly, biweekly or monthly depending on the client. I created them in word with my Logo as a 'watermark' which means you can see it on the original but you would have to have some kick ass start of the art copier to be able to 'photocopy' it ... it states received from, how much and for what reason and they are each 'numbered' for my records as I record that in my EXCEL to cross reference.

I also provide annual 'childcare tax receipt' issued on or before FEbruary 28th of the following year - so I just finished my receipts for 2011.

It is also done with my logo, BIN and contact info as well as the following:

I prefer to have every 'tax' related item in my program branded with my logo, BIN and contact info on it because with the 'store bought' items ANYONE can write a receipt and say they paid you that money ... and well I worked in centre care where unfortunately fraud was rampant for people trying to get 'more subsidy' by claiming they paid more than they did and so forth ... so I am a pessimist with regards to this ... if CRA comes claiming that someone says they paid me X amount for childcare and how come I did not claim it I want all my 'documentation' to be able to back up that it is a fraudulent receipt and that is why it was not claimed
