Infant fee verses toddler fee

[Momof4]

Me too. I charge the same amount for all children. No matter what the age you run into challenges as they grow so I don't know where on earth I would draw the line! I think I would charge a fortune for a 5 year old though, I can't do attitudes!

A bit off topic, but do you consider regular massages a business expense if you are lifting children? I get regular massages to prevent migraines, but it never occurred to me that in a daycare situation they might be deductible.

Haha, no I wouldn't deduct that or I would have to deduct all my aspirins due to aches and pains and headaches. But I would be interested to see other people's opinions about that.

I am not an accountant but my GUT response is NOPE that is not a business expense ... however if you were to invest in an 'extended health care benefits for your business' and cover yourself for massage/chiro/etc than the PREMIUM you paid to the insurance company would be deductible from the 'business'.

That said if it is a REGISTERED massage therapist you are seeing you can claim it as a 'medical expense' just like any other Canadian citizen can .... along with your prescriptions, dental, eye glasses and so forth and depending on your tax bracket and income you could get a 'rebate' for the cost of this form of health care that way?
