Tax Receipt

[love my life]

Thank you for all the replies. When we first met she said that it helps them more and rather pay less than get a receipt, so we both agreed on that. It's going to be very hard for me to ask for the difference, but I am going to give it a try and see what she thinks. Either way, I will be giving her a receipt! It's so upsetting to think you have an amazing relationship with a person and then you realize that they don't necessarily care about you the same way you do. Also, I learned not to lower my prices no matter what the reason is as it only brings stress and headache.

I don't think that the issue - that they don't care. Most parent not realized they can claim up to $8,000 of child care cost as tax credit. It's NEVER to their benefit not to have that unless of course they too are working under the counter, and trying to hide expenses because they hid income. Regardless, home day care is the most audited self employed business in Canada so even if you have this situation, declare the income, tell the client you will be issuing a receipt, and then if they pay you cash and opt to use it, that on them. As long as you operate above board, that all you are accountable for.
